Ceres. It's the largest object in the asteroid belt, which lies between Mars and Jupiter, and the only asteroid massive enough to become approximately spherical in shape - one of the requirements to achieve dwarf planet status. The other 4 confirmed dwarf planets, including Pluto, are all much further out beyond the orbit of Neptune.
