That would have to be a shared honor. The group on the far right side of the Periodic Table are known as the Noble Gases, because they don't "mix" with the other elements. This is because their outer electron shells are full so they don't form bonds.
However, one of the Nobles, Xenon, can, under some pretty rigorous laboratory conditions, be made to compound with Fluorine, with is the most active element, so perhaps it's only "semi-noble."

The noble gases are the most chemically inactive group of elements. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements.

The most inactive group in the periodic table is group 8. The elements on this group are referred to as a noble gases with.
The noble gases (Group 18) are the most stable elements because they have a full outer electron shell, making them chemically inert and unlikely to form compounds with other elements.
The nonmetals that are most chemically reactive are fluorine, chlorine, and oxygen. These elements readily form bonds with other elements to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Helium would be the element that fits this description. It has a high ionization energy, meaning it requires a lot of energy to remove an electron, and tends to be chemically inactive because its outer electron shell is full.
The Noble Gases Group are called 'noble' because they don't willingly react with anything. The Noble Gases are Group (or Family) 18, the column on the far right side of the periodic chart.
Fluorine, oxygen, chlorine.
