Ross 695, also known as Gliese 465, is a red dwarf star in the southern constellation of Corvus. The distance to this star, based on parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft, is 28.947 light-years (8.875 parsecs).[2] It is the nearest star in this constellation.[1] Despite its closeness, this star is intrinsically faint and, at apparent magnitude 11.27, is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye.

This star has a spectral type of M2.0V; with around 26.2% the mass and 27.1% the radius of the Sun, but only 0.98% its luminosity. The effective temperature of the star is 3490 K,[4] giving it a reddish hue.[6] Its iron-to-hydrogen ratio appears to be lower than that of the Sun.[4]

Investigation of its radial velocity has failed to find any evidence of a planetary companion.[7]
