I assume you're talking about in our own solar system.

Jupiter has the fastest rotation, at about 10 hours. Saturn is just behind it, at 10.5 hours.

Both these planets are not solid, so have differential rotation; those figures are at the equator.

Interestingly, all the giant planets take less time to rotate than Earth does. Mars has a rotation period that's almost equal to Earth's, Mercury rotates about once every two months, and Venus rotates about once every 8 months (and does so backward).
