Gliese 661 is a nearby binary star system, consisting of two very similar red dwarfs, located in the constellation Template:Constel.

Gliese 661 is the nearest "true" (i. e. not brown dwarf) star system in Template:Constel, however, there is brown dwarf in this constellation, located closer: WISE 1741+2553.
