Below are '''lists of the largest stars''' currently known, ordered by [[radius]] and separated into categories by galaxy. The unit of measurement used is the [[Solar radius|radius of the Sun]] (approximately {{convert|1|solar radius|km mi|sigfig=4|abbr=on|disp=out|lk=on}}).<ref name="mamajek" />
[[File:Rho Cassiopeiae Sol VY Canis Majoris.png|thumb|The [[Sun]], the orbit of [[Earth]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Neptune]], compared to four stars ([[Pistol Star]], [[Rho Cassiopeiae]], [[Betelgeuse]], and [[VY Canis Majoris]])|348x348px]]

==Overview==
Although red supergiants are often considered the largest stars, some other star types have been found to temporarily increase significantly in radius, such as during [[Supernova impostor|LBV eruptions]] or [[luminous red nova]]e. Luminous red novae appear to expand extremely rapidly, reaching thousands to tens of thousands of solar radii within only a few months, significantly larger than the largest red supergiants.<ref name="VJT5U" />

Some studies use models that predict high-accreting [[Population III star|Population III]] or [[Population I star|Population I]] supermassive stars (SMSs) in the [[early universe|very early universe]] could have evolved "red supergiant protostars". These protostars are thought to have accretion rates larger than the rate of contraction, resulting in lower temperatures but with radii reaching up to many tens of thousands of {{solar radius}}, comparable to some of the [[List of most massive black holes|largest known black holes]].<ref name="haemmerlé" /><ref name="herrington" /><ref name="uQynd" />

===Angular diameters===
The angular diameters of stars can be measured directly using [[Astronomical optical interferometry|stellar interferometry]]. Other methods can use lunar [[occultation]]s or from [[eclipsing binaries]], which can be used to test indirect methods of finding stellar radii. Only a few [[supergiant]]s can be occulted by the Moon, including [[Antares]] and [[119 Tauri]]. Examples of eclipsing binaries are [[Epsilon Aurigae]] (Almaaz), [[VV Cephei]], and [[V766 Centauri]] (HR 5171). Angular diameter measurements can be inconsistent because the boundary of the very tenuous atmosphere ([[Opacity (optics)|opacity]]) differs depending on the wavelength of light in which the [[star]] is observed.{{cn|date=August 2024}}

Uncertainties remain with the membership and order of the lists, especially when deriving various parameters used in calculations, such as stellar [[luminosity]] and [[effective temperature]]. Often stellar radii can only be expressed as an average or be within a large range of values. Values for stellar radii vary significantly in different sources and for different observation methods.{{cn|date=August 2024}}

All the sizes stated in these lists have inaccuracies and may be disputed. The lists are still a work in progress and parameters are prone to change.

==Caveats==
Various issues exist in determining accurate radii of the largest stars, which in many cases do display significant errors. The following lists are generally based on various considerations or assumptions; these include:
* Stellar radii or diameters are usually derived only approximately using the [[Stefan–Boltzmann law]] for the deduced stellar [[luminosity]] and [[effective temperature|effective surface temperature]].
* [[Stellar distance]]s, and their errors, for most stars, remain uncertain or poorly determined.
* Many extended supergiant atmospheres also significantly change in size over time, regularly or irregularly pulsating over several months or years as [[variable star]]s. This makes adopted [[luminosity|luminosities]] poorly known and may significantly change the quoted radii.
* Other direct methods for determining stellar radii rely on lunar [[occultation]]s or from eclipses in binary systems. This is only possible for a very small number of stars.
* Many distance estimates for red supergiants come from stellar cluster or association membership, because it is difficult to calculate accurate distances for red supergiants that are not part of any cluster or association.
* In these lists are some examples of extremely distant extragalactic stars, which may have slightly different properties and natures than the currently largest known stars in the [[Milky Way]]. For example, some red [[supergiant]]s in the [[Magellanic Clouds]] are suspected to have slightly different limiting [[effective temperature|temperatures]] and [[bolometric luminosity|luminosities]]. Such stars may exceed accepted limits by undergoing large eruptions or changing their [[spectral type]]s over just a few months (or potentially years).<ref name="levesque" /><ref name="ren" />
