Hipparchus may be depicted opposite [[Ptolemy]] in [[Raphael]]'s 1509–1511 painting ''[[The School of Athens]]'', although this figure is usually identified as [[Zoroaster]].{{r|swerdlow1992}}

The formal name for the [[European Space Agency|ESA]]'s [[Hipparcos|Hipparcos Space Astrometry Mission]] is High Precision Parallax Collecting Satellite, making a [[backronym]], HiPParCoS, that echoes and commemorates the name of Hipparchus.

The lunar crater [[Hipparchus (lunar crater)|Hipparchus]], the Martian crater [[Hipparchus (Martian crater)|Hipparchus]], and the [[asteroid]] [[4000 Hipparchus]] are named after him.

He was inducted into the [[International Space Hall of Fame]] in 2004.<ref name=ep4>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/29988299/el_paso_times/|title=X-Prize Group Founder to Speak at Induction|newspaper=El Paso Times|location=El Paso, Texas|date=17 October 2004|page=59 }}</ref>

[[Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre]], historian of astronomy, mathematical astronomer and director of the [[Paris Observatory]], in his history of astronomy in the 18th century (1821), considered Hipparchus along with [[Johannes Kepler]] and [[James Bradley]] the greatest astronomers of all time.{{r|delambre1827}}

The ''[[Astronomers Monument]]'' at the [[Griffith Observatory]] in Los Angeles, California, United States features a relief of Hipparchus as one of six of the greatest astronomers of all time and the only one from Antiquity.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|title=Astronomers Monument & Sundial|encyclopedia=Griffith Observatory|url=https://griffithobservatory.org/exhibits/astronomers-monument-sundial/}}</ref>

[[Johannes Kepler]] had great respect for [[Tycho Brahe]]'s methods and the accuracy of his observations, and considered him to be the new Hipparchus, who would provide the foundation for a restoration of the science of astronomy.<ref>Christianson, J.
