According to my Dental Assisting class and the book that we use, it states that virus is the smallest microorganism known to man.
The smallest microorganism seen by the human eye is likely a single-celled organism called a paramecium, which can range in size from 50 to 300 micrometers. These organisms are barely visible to the naked eye and can be viewed using a light microscope.
A Virus called Prion was considered the smallest microorganism until recently. Though the microorganism hasn't been named yet biologists are pretty positive that it is the smallest microorganism. Follow the related link and take a look at the article.
Microorganism doesn't refer to a specific scientific name but is a general term for organisms that are too small to be seen without a microscope. Examples include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each specific type of microorganism has its own unique scientific name.
Plankton is an example.

The smallest organism to do so is called a virus
I believe nanobes(of the microorganism family) are the smallest known living organisms at a size of (20 nm = .02 microns) being the smallest.
The microorganism is SAR11, the smallest free living cell known and probably the most abundant organism in the seas
