If Ceres is not considered, the asteroid Vesta, about 1/4 the mass of Ceres, is the largest asteroid. Both these and most other larger asteroids are located in the main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The largest asteroid would be the dwarf planet Ceres. This is followed by Pallas, Vesta and Hygiea.

According to the US naval astronomical applications department the 3rd largest asteroid body is called 4 Vesta. Ref: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/asteroid_masses Actually, they do not know what the largest asteroid is since Pallas and Vesta both have been designated as the second largest asteroid after Ceres, which is no longer an asteroid. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet now, Pallas or Vesta is the largest now. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet, the third largest asteroid is Hygiea now. Pallas and Vesta are the top two largest asteroids now. Vesta is more massive than Pallas, though.
