Sir J says a jump jet, but those are state of the art military arcraft not open to the public,
The shortest takeoff plane a regular person can buy would have to be the Piper J-3 Club, but it only holds one pilot and a passenger.
Your best bet would be a Cessna 150 Skywagon or 172 Skyhawk.
Those two airplanes can takeoff from just about any runway in the U.S. and are very popular.
Then again, you could use a bi-plane, but those planes are used for extreme aerodynamics and are very dangerous. You'd usually see them in stunt shows, and not really anything else, but still, if you're a dare devil and live close to an airstrip with an extremely short runway, your best bet would be using any type of bi-plane that holds 1-2 seats.

Air Tractor. Agricultural aircraft...Turbine one seater. I don't know the exact length of takeoff nor can i find the link on it. I have seen one take off in about 18 feet before. And right after takeoff bank into a right turn! Amazing. All for about 1.5 mil ha ha

The Maule aircraft have excellent short field capabilities, takeoff distance can be as short as 250 ft. These are small general aviation aircraft with 4-5 seats.

You can't buy a Harrier.
Almost no STOL aircraft are biplanes due to interference between the two wings.
A CH701 STOL homebuilt has the shortest take off I know.

If a biplane works well with STOL, than get a triplane.
