This one's easy - Saturn. The other gas giants have rings, too, but Saturn's are most prominent and most massive, and can be divided into hundreds of ringlets. There could be planets in other solar systems that beat it, though.

It's definitely Saturn. This planet is surrounded by three planar concentric rings of ice particles; the 6th planet from the sun. The total mass in the rings is about the size of a medium mass moon, and the rings are only about 10 km thick.
Hope that helps!
