'''Sayari-nje''' au '''Sayari ya nje''' ([[ing.]] [[:en:exoplanet|exoplanet]], au extrasolar planet) ni [[sayari]] inayozunguka [[nyota]] isiyo [[Jua]] letu. Iko nje ya [[mfumo wa jua|mfumo wetu]].
Mnamo mwaka 2017 zaidi ya sayari za -nje 3000 zinazozunguka [[nyota]] mbalimbali zilitambuliwa tayari. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/ExoTables/nph-exotbls?dataset=planets|title=Exoplanet Archive Planet Counts|publisher=}}</ref><ref name="kepler1700">{{cite web |last1=Johnson |first1=Michele |last2=Harrington |first2=J.D. |title=NASA's Kepler Mission Announces a Planet Bonanza, 715 New Worlds |url=http://www.nasa.gov/ames/kepler/nasas-kepler-mission-announces-a-planet-bonanza/ |date=February 26, 2014 |work=[[NASA]] |accessdate=February 26, 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog|title=The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog - Planetary Habitability Laboratory @ UPR Arecibo|publisher=}}</ref>
Kwa muda mrefu sayari zilizopo nje ya mfumo wa Jua letu hazikujulikana. [[Giordano Bruno]] aliwaza mnamo karne ya 16 ya kwamba kuna dunia nyingi katika anga sawa na Dunia yetu.<ref>Eli Maor (2013), uk 198</ref> [[Isaac Newton]] alifikiri pia ya kwamba sayari zinaweza kuwepo nje ya mfumo wetu. Lakini haikuwezakana kuthibitisha nadharia hizi.
Hadi [[miaka ya 1990]] [[idadi]] kubwa ya [[wanaastronomia]] bado walihangaika kama sayari za -nje ziko au la. Mwaka [[1992]] watafiti [[Aleksander Wolszczan]] na [[Dale Frail]] waliofanya [[kazi]] ya [[astronomia ya redio]] walitangaza kugunduliwa kwa sayari [[mbili]] zinazozunguka [[nyota tutusi]] (''pulsar'') [[PSR 1257+12]].<ref name="Wolszczan">{{Cite journal | last1 = Wolszczan | first1 = A. |bibcode=1992Natur.355..145W| last2 = Frail | first2 = D.

Kuwepo kwa sayari ya -nje inayozunguka nyota ya kawaida kulithibitishwa mara ya kwanza mwaka [[1995]] na watafiti wa [[Geneva]] waliogundia sayari ya nyota [[51 Pegasi]]. Idadi iliongezeka hasa kutokana na matokeo ya utafiti wa [[Kepler (chomboanga)|chomboanga Kepler]] kilichoweza kuthibitisha kuwepo kwa mamia ya sayari za -nje zenye ukubwa wa [[Neptun]] hadi [[Utaridi]]<ref>[https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/news/kepler-461-new-candidates.html NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers 461 New Planet Candidates], tovuti ya [[NASA]] ya Jan. 11, 2013, iliangaliwa Aprili 2017</ref>.
Hadi [[tarehe]] [[1 Aprili]] [[2017]] jumla ya sayari za -nje 3,607 zimeorodheshwa katika "Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia"<ref>[http://exoplanet.eu/catalog/ Orodha ya Exoplanets], inataja " 3608 planets / 2702 planetary systems / 610 multiple planet systems", iliangaliwa Aprili 2017</ref>
