This is a list of high-proper motion stars. The 34 sources with the highest proper motion, based on data from the highly accurate Gaia catalogues, was published in an ESA 2025 "Image of the Week".
There is no specific velocity that is considered high, but the proper motion article notes that the majority of stars have a proper motion of less than 0.01 arc-seconds per year. Note that the closer a star is to earth, the faster it will appear to travel in arc-seconds per year for a given "real" velocity; therefore, the PM values here are apparent velocities.
Included in the table is also the radial motion (RM) if available.
In the table below PM values are shown in arc seconds per year and RM values are shown in kilometers per second, positive and negative values indicating away (+) or toward (−) Earth.
