Astrometry has been used to discover a handful of exoplanets, mostly gas giants more massive than Jupiter. It is based on measuring a star's proper motion, and seeing how that position changes over time: a planet with a sufficiently large mass is able to gravitationally pull its host star, making its proper motion vary over large timescales. This cause a proper motion discrepancy between two observations (e.g. Hipparcos and Gaia). This list contains discoveries using this method, it does not contain exoplanets first detected by another method, but later detected using astrometry, e.g. Epsilon Indi Ab or Gamma Cephei Ab.
This list contain only confirmed planets. Many candidate planets were decected via astrometry, including Gliese 65 Ab (which would be the nearest planet detected by this method, if confirmed), 9,698 candidates shown in a paper [1] as well as many more detected via Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry in another studies.
