Diamond, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale.
Diamond is the hardest natural material, scoring a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. The hardness of a diamond is measured by its ability to resist scratching or abrasion by other materials.

Diamond is the only mineral that has the same hardness as corundum, which is the second hardest natural mineral on the Mohs scale after diamond. Both corundum and diamond have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale.
Hardest - Diamond Hardness - 10
The hardness of a diamond is measured using the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance and is rated at a 10 on the Mohs scale. To determine the hardness of a material, a sample of known hardness is used to scratch the surface of the material in question; if the material is scratched, it has a lower hardness rating than the sample.
Topaz comes next, then corundum, then diamond is hardest with a hardness of 10
