A lot of materials are known for their relatively high thermal conductivities including:
Silver
Copper
Gold
Aluminum
Brass (at least most types are pretty good conductors)
Diamond
Carbon nanotubes (along the tube)
Graphite (along the plane - not so good between planes)
Graphene (a 2-dimensional atomic-scale, honey-comb lattice in which one atom forms each vertex - sort of an ideal version of a single sheet of graphite)
Water is also pretty good at heat transfer although it's more due to it's high specific heat and ability to transfer heat via convection. Because water has a high specific heat (aka heat capacity) it doesn't change temperature as much as other materials when absorbing or supplying heat to a surface it is in contact with . Since rate of heat transfer is proportional to temperature difference it helps transfer heat better by not changing temperature as much, thus maintaining a higher temperature difference for longer.
Any material which has high thermal conductivity can easily transfer energy as heat. As far as I know, all metals have high thermal conductivity. Copper, gold and silver especially have high thermal conductivity. Diamond and graphene have VERY high thermal conductivity, so this is not restricted to only metals.
All materials conduct heat. The ability to conduct heat is quantified as the thermal conductivity. Materials that conduct heat very well, like metals, have a high thermal conductivity. Air, has a very low thermal conductivity. Styrofoam is another poor conductor of heat.
Usually we say there are three forms of heat transfer.
* Thermal conduction of heat (as discussed above), occurs when heat flows through a material from a high temperature to a lower temperature. The heat is transported through individual particles of matter vibrating and transferring energy to neighboring particles. * Convective heat transfer occurs when heat moves with a fluid. Air does not conduct heat well, but air is often involved as a moving fluid that moves heat. (That is why houses have walls that are insulated, to inhibit air movement.) One can easily see natural convective heat transfer when one heats a pot of water on a flame and there are water currents generated rising from the bottom.
* Radiative heat transfer occurs when energy is emitted from a body as electromagnetic energy. The Sun is the most obvious example, but even a simple fire "throws off heat" and part of that heat is light, mostly infrared light that we can not see.
Electrical energy is transferred through electrical conductors.
Thermal (heat) energy is transferred through all materials by either thermal conduction, convection heat transfer or radiative heat transfer.
Optical energy (light or electromagnetic energy) is transferred through any transparent medium or through a vacuum.
Sound energy is transferred through solids, liquids and gasses.
Every material transfers energy and with the exception of electrical insulators, most transfer most kinds of energy, some do it more effectively than other.
So, there is no really useful answer to this question.
Gold is considered one of the best conductors of electricity.

Edit: Diamond is one of the most thermally conductive materials. Diamond has five times the thermal conductivity of copper.
metals, water, glass, the list is long.

Conductors. It's a common property of metals, the ability to conduct heat, and electricity.
Materials that transfer thermal energy well are called good themal conductors. The metals are generally good conductors of heat (thermal energy).
conductors transfer thermal heat
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
does a conductor transfer of heat Basically, when it comes to conducting heat, not all substances are created equal. Metals and stone are considered good conductors since they can speedily transfer heat, whereas materials like wood, paper, air, and cloth are poor conductors of heat. ... Materials that are poor conductors of heat are called insulators
