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). It is the nearest star in this constellation. 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, giving it a reddish hue. Its iron-to-hydrogen ratio appears to be lower than that of the Sun.
Investigation of its radial velocity has failed to find any evidence of a planetary companion.
