• Source: List of most massive star clusters

Below are lists of the most massive known star clusters in solar masses (M☉) and sorted in descending order.




Methods for mass estimation






= Globular cluster

=
Globular cluster masses can be determined by observing the proper motion of nearby stars influenced by the cluster or by estimating the cluster's relaxation time.




= Open clusters

=
The masses of open star clusters can be estimated by measuring the falloff of radial and tangential velocities of surrounding stars at a particular distance.
