Best Answer

The ONLY galaxy in the "local milky way" is the Milky Way itself.

If you're asking what the largest galaxy in the local group is, the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest by size but the Milky Way may be slightly larger by mass. It's definitely one of those two by any reasonable criterion, though.
