Gold, marginally. However, gold melts at a much lower temperature than silver does, so it can't carry as much current before it melts.
Answer
The original answer is incorrect. Silver is the best conductor, followed by copper, then gold.

What is the best electricial conductor?
the_best_is_silver">the best is silver-----Silver is better than copper which is better than gold which is better than aluminum.The absolute best would be a super-conductor at a temperature of absolute zero.
What are Swedens natural resources?
iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, tungsten, uranium, arsenic, feldspar, timber, and hydro power.
How is gold used in electronics?
Gold is used as a conductor of electricity on flash drives, USB cables, etc. It plates the metal surface to let the most electricity flow. The question should be why not how. Gold is impervious to oxidation and a very good conductor. So connections are more reliable if made with gold contacts as opposed to copper which oxidizes easily.

copper and platinum 2nd answer: Woops! Try silver, gold, then copper, in that order. Aluminum is also a good conductor.
Does silver have a high or low resistance?
Silver is the best natural conductor. It has the lowest resistance of any known natural material. Your conductors - low resistance materials Silver, Copper, Gold, Aluminum, Tungsten, Brass, Iron, Platinum... Gold is sometimes favored in circuits as silver and copper both oxides.
Is gold or copper the second best conductor of electricity?
Copper is the second best conductor of electricity with low static resitivity (high conductivity) of 1.68 E-8. Gold is next with resitivity of 2.44 e -8
Is gold the best conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor. Gold runs a close second and is used primarily on contact surfaces because of it's resistance to corrosion. Copper is next, followed by aluminium.CommentCopper is a better conductor than gold.
