Someone once told me it's the bottom of your feet. But, there's this biodismorphic figurine someone once made. It's hands,lips,feet,tongue,eyes and head are too big in proportion to everything else. The figurine represents the proportion of our nevous systems' involvement to the various body parts.

Before your mind starts wandering, it is your skin that is the most sensitive organ in your body. The Skin is in communion with every organ, and with a multitude of tissues throughout the central nervous system. One square centimetre of skin has approximately 150 pain receptors, at least 25 tactile receptors and 2 heat receptors. The skin is the first line of defence between us and the outside world of microscopic invaders; it is also a link with the physiological worlds within our own bodies.
So if you thought that a good massage was little more than an idle indulgence, think again. Because the skin is in communication with so much of the vital inner workings of our bodies, stimulating it can help activate the healthy functioning of the whole body. Just as good a picture is worth a thousand words, a good massage is worth a thousand vitamin pills

See, anyone can say, that 'that' one is the most sensitive organ. But, if you want scientific answer (as Trailbalzer mentioned), we have to define on which scale we are comparing. Comparing eye and ear on the same scale is not scientific, since they respond to different 'senses'. One have to compare the concentration/intensities of the source of sense. For eye there is light intensity, for nose there is concentration of the smelling substance in air at the point near to nose. So you see comparing those are not too easy.
But by 'sensitive' if you mean most 'vulnerable (to touch)' exposed organ(there are lots of organ inside which are more vulnerable), then the answer may be eye balls.

For women the "moat" sensitive organ is the clitoris, which has more than 8000 nerve endings

The brain is the most sensitive organ both physically and mentally.. but the extent of sensitivity depends from person to person....

Surface of cornea,
conjunctiva,
entrance of nostril,
mucosa of lips,
external ear,
tip of urethra ,
clitoris,
vagina and
opening of anus
in that order. They protect the body from external stimulus(aggression biologically)
Go ahead and touch 'em, you'll see!!
