That is difficult to determine. There have been many thousands of F0 and EF0 tornadoes with winds possibly as low as 40 mph. However it is difficult to determine which were the weakest as many took place in open fields and caused no damage and all but perhaps a few never had their winds measured. Even then, it could be debated whether a tornado with winds as low as 40 mph could actually be counted as a tornado as such winds usually cannot cause significant damage.

The weakest tornado ever recorded is an EF0 tornado, with wind speeds between 65-85 mph. These tornadoes typically cause minor damage, such as broken tree branches or minor roof damage to buildings.
