It depends a bit on when you are talking about. In the earliest phase of Egyptian history (The Archaic and Old Kingdom periods between about 3000 and 2400 BCE) It was probably the sun god Re (often written Ra). He is mentioned in some important Egyptian creation myths as the father of the other main gods. He was identified with the King and the cult of the sun. By the Middle Kingdom (about 2000-1800 BCE), it had changed to be the god Osiris who was god of the underworld and who had responsibility for judging the dead. Anyone who lived a good life and could answer his questions truthfully could enter the next world. This was different from the earlier worship of Ra which was largely focussed on the King. By the New Kingdom (about 1800-1000 BCE) the god Amun or Amun Ra had become the most important. His cult was based at the temple of Karnak near Luxor and the preisthood there was very powerful, owning a lot of land and property which was one reason why the god became so important. His importance is reflected in probably the best known ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun whose name means living image of Amun.
