What a question!!
Clearly, there isn't just one, and can never be, just partly because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nonetheless, here is a short list of my own:
- Hammerhead shark (weird? just look at the body on that!)
Pike (poetry in function)
Cats (just use your eyes)
Squid (so alien, yet so perfectly adapted)
Dragonflies (like fairies in the sunlight)
Terns (delicate in appearance, yet can circumnavigate the world, and weigh less than 100g)
Albatrosses ( in flight the most elegant of them all)
White fronted geese (yes, geese! Have you seen them fly? And they go non-stop to Greenland for the summer- think of the arms needed to do that!)
Baby anythings (come on, you know it makes sense)
Linda Hamilton (it just has to be said)
OK, you asked for one, but there y'go.

I think the most beautiful creature is a type of mollusc caled a sea butterfly. Not only is it brightly coloured, it also has an ethereal quality as it uses its fins to swim through the sea.

I can never choose just one most beautiful creature in the world, they all have beauty in my eyes.. and I agree with all the animals mentioned in previous answers (especially alanQ, he took the words right out of my mouth!) but I would like to add some more, since I can never choose just one..
Common Loons... they are so elegant and beautiful with thier beaded-necklaces, and ruby eyes. http://www.fws.gov/athens/images/Common_Loon/Common%20Loon.jpg

Wolves... the ultimate symbol of the Canadian wilderness, graceful, awe-inspiring, soul- stirring magnificent predators, who make the most wonderful music that can send chills down your spine and touch your very soul with its lonely beauty. They gave us our greatest friend, the dog.

Black Bear... feared creatures that despite thier reputation are non-confrontational and wary animals that usually run from humans.. they are truly curious and intelligent creatures which are a joy to observe in thier natural environment while safely unaware of your scrutiny of course... as they are known for firecely defending thier young.

Fisher... the only predator cunning enough to hunt porcupine consistently. They are excellent tree climbers and specialize in hunting arboreal prey. They are also beautiful animals with gorgeous fur (that people hunt them for sadly) http://www.loomisforest.org/images/Wildlife/Fisher/Northwest-Trek-Jan-2003-061.jpg
