Buddhism has no deity. Though many do believe in god's who live in the heavenly realm, in this realm these gods are reaping the rewards of good karma from past lives but they aren't immortal and don't have any real power within the other five realms.
That said it is not incompatible for a Buddhist to believe in another God like Allah, Jehovah or Yahweh, though it doesn't typically allow one to follow a particularly strict doctrine.
