Here's how to find the 10 closest locations to a point for a model that has latitude and longitude columns, if you're not using GeoDjango.
This runs a brute force distance calculation against every row, so it should only be used on smaller tables - probably less than 100,000 rows.
For larger tables you should use GeoDjango instead.

from django.db.models.functions import ACos, Cos, Radians, Sin
locations = Location.objects.annotate(
distance_miles = ACos(
Cos(
Radians(input_latitude)
) * Cos(
Radians(F('latitude'))
) * Cos(
Radians(F('longitude')) - Radians(input_longitude)
) + Sin(
Radians(input_latitude)
) * Sin(Radians(F('latitude')))
) * 3959
).order_by('distance_miles')[:10]
