'Last but not least' is correct!
"Meaning:
An introduction, usually on stage, indicating that the person announced last is no less important then those introduced earlier.
Origin
The phrase has been in use in the theatre.
"The first reference in print is from Charles Kingsley's intriguingly titled work, 'Yeast: A Problem', 1848. In the work, Kingsley argues the merits of the English farmer:........."Last, but not least, is it not the very property of man that he is a spirit invested with flesh and blood?"

In a cliche of this sort the felicitous sound is produced by the parallelism of the two words last and least. It's similar to the effect you get when you describe someone as the "late, great" Sonso. "Last but not least" is the conventional form.
