Of all the planets, the Gas Giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) do not have any craters due to the fact that they are, well, made of gas and cannot produce a crater.

Of the terrestrial planets (Earth, Mars, Mercury and Venus) Earth has the least "visible" craters due to erosion and tectonic plate movements, whereas Venus has the least craters because it's surface was "reformed" about 500 million years ago.
