List of largest stars

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 diameter of the Sun (approximately 1,390,700 km; 864,000 mi).
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.
