The biggest UNDIVIDED leaf reportedly is found on mature
specimens of Alocasia robusta (8 to 10 feet long). The
largest divided leaf belongs to a pinnate-leaved palm,
Raphia regalis (as much as 80 feet long).
Note that both these species are monocots. The largest
dicot leaf may be a species of Pentagonia (Rubiaceae) in
tropical America; leaves in this genus are undivided and,
in some species are as much as six feet long.

Gunnera grows pretty big - you can shelter several people under one leaf if it rains - as long as you don't mind the poisonous thorns!
Some species of tropical waterlily grow large too.

I've got a mate from Finland called Leaf. He's pretty big, over 6ft tall and rather well built too. He's the biggest leaf I've ever seen!!
