In all probability, one that is beyond the observable Universe.

The furthest known galaxy is IOK-1, which formed about 750 million years after the big bang.

It is, now, approximately 12.9 billion light years from us.

Abell 1835 IR1916 was believed to be around 13.2 billion light years from us, but there is controversy about whether it was a galaxy or not.

According to Hubble's Law the most distant clusters of galaxies are?

The basic idea of Hubble's Law is that galaxies (or galaxy clusters) that are farther away move away from us faster than those that are closer to us.The most distant galaxy yet found is a protogalaxy with the designation UDFj-39546284, with a redshift z = 11.9, about 13.42 billion light-years distant from the Milky Way.In case you are asking for the most distant CLUSTER of galaxies, and not the most distant astronomical galaxy, the answer would be the cluster (or protocluster, science is not yet sure about the nature of this structure) which denomination is BoRG-58 , with a redshift z≅8, and about 12 billion light-years distant from us.
