Every planet is closer to the sun than Neptune. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Neptune is the furthest planet since Pluto lost its status as a recognized plantary body.

Just a bit of trivia: Before that, Neptune and Pluto would alternate as "furthest planet", since their orbits would periodically place one further away than the other.
