Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species...
There are also subspecies, suborders, superfamilies, infraorders etc... Taxonomy is rather elaborate and complicated once you really delve into it.

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Easily remembered with the mnemonic device: King Philip Came Over For Good Soup. When talking about giving an organism its scientific name, scientists use the Genus and Species. Hence, Canis Lupus for a wolf is Genus Canis, Species Lupus.

On top of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, there is also a new(er) grouping above all of those called domain which is composed of multiple kingdoms
