      It depends what you mean.

      The largest asteroid in the Solar System is called Vesta. this is an ateriod whizzing about in space.
      If you mean the largest asteroid that has ever hit earth, scientist think that one the size of Mars hit us billions of years ago, which partly led to the creation of the moon
