To expand the known number of low-redshift galaxies which lie close to bright ($V < 17.2$) QSO lines of sight, we have identified 24 galaxies within 11 arcmins of nine QSOs which have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Galaxies are found between redshifts of $0.0114-0.145$ and lie between $39-749$ $h^{-1}$ kpc from QSO sightlines. Knowing the redshifts of these galaxies has already proved important in understanding results from HST programmes designed to search for UV absorption lines from low-redshift galaxies, and will enable future observations to probe the halos of these galaxies in detail.
