If you mean military personnel dead, then there's no question that it's WWII, no where or when were the armies larger and more equipped to kill than during the Second World War. I would estimate around 15-25 million military deaths. WWI would be second to follow: 10-15 million. The Napoleonic wars were also pretty terrible, probably 2-3 million military deaths.

If you're talking about simple fatalities caused by the war, there have got to be others. Probably the worst was the European subjugation of the American Continent. Accepted estimates go up to 100 million people, mostly from smallpox and other old world diseases World War Two estimates range from 45-75 million deaths total. Mongol Conquests are close behind, maybe even more than WWII, because of the prolific use of biological warfare. An Lushan Rebellion in China was probably the worst in terms of time and population. 8th century BC, around 2/3's of the population died, or 30 some million. A series of other wars in China match these casualty rates, Mongol invasion, Manchu succession, Taiping rebellion, and so on. The classic western wars can no way match up to these.
