Lalande 21185 (also known as BD+36 2147, Gliese 411, and HD 95735[3]) is a star in the south of Ursa Major. It is the apparent brightest red dwarf in the northern hemisphere.[nb 2][9][10] Despite this, and being relatively close by, it is very dim (as are all red dwarfs), being only magnitude 7.5 in visible light and thus too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. The star is visible through a small telescope or binoculars.[11]

At 8.304 light-years (2.546 parsecs)[1] away it is one of the stars nearest to the Solar System; only the Alpha Centauri system, Barnard's Star, Wolf 359, and the brown dwarfs Luhman 16 and WISE 0855−0714 are known to be closer.[12] Because of its proximity it is a frequent subject for astronomical surveys and other research and thus is known by numerous other designations, most commonly Gliese 411 and HD 95735. In approximately 19,900 years it will be at its closest, about 4.65 ly (1.43 pc) from the Sun, just over half its present distance.[13][14]

Lalande 21185 has two known exoplanets and one candidate exoplanet, making it the second closest confirmed planetary system to the Solar System.
