ANSWER:
The ancient Egyptians believed in many different gods and goddesses. Each one with their own role to play in maintaining peace and harmony across the land. There were actually 115 Gods that the Egyptians worshipped. The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten.
The official count is over 2000 gods/goddesses in Egypt.

It depends on what city you're talking about in Egypt. Gods like Ra, Amun and Osiris would have been national gods - worshipped everywhere, but they had cult centres where they were particularly venerated. Some gods were worshipped more than others in certain cities. As a short answer, it would probably be either Amun-Ra or Osiris. They thought Ra was the most important god because they believed Ra gave life to earth.
