Venus or Mercury, depending in the type of "day" that you mean. A "day" on Venus is -243.0185 Earth days long. The "minus" means it rotates in a direction opposite the Earth and all the other planets (except Uranus). This "day " is the rotation period, called the "sidereal day". However there's also the "solar day". That's roughly "sunrise to sunrise". The solar day depends on a planet's orbital motion, as well as its rotation. Venus has a solar day of about 116.5 Earth days. For the solar day it's Mercury that has the longest day, because of the direction of rotation of Venus. Mercury has a solar day of about 176 Earth days. Comment: The "related link" given below isn't really related. It about the movie called "The Longest Day".
