The smallest type of star is a "core burning star". It is slightly larger than Jupiter and is at the limit of a "star" to be able to fuse hydrogen.

The smallest detected is called OGLE-TR-122b.

The smallest "visible" stellar remnant [See related question] is a neutron star, or "invisible" is a black hole.
