About #46# billion light years.

Explanation:

The most distant galaxies we have seen date from about #13.2# billion years ago, #600# million years after the Big Bang.

So the light from those galaxies has travelled for #13.2# billion years.

They are actually somewhat more than #13.2# billion light years away since the universe has been expanding since that time, in fact a staggering #46# billion light years or so.
