Jupiter is the largest in our solar system, but there is no way to know what the largest planet in the universe is. Astronomers have found Jupiter-like planets orbiting other stars and there's no reason not to think that there are much bigger ones out there beyond the reach of our telescopes.

Tripola, which is considered 100 times massive than the biggest planet "Jupiter" of our solar system. Once astronomers confirms it as a planet, it would become the known massive biggest planet. There could be much more than that in this universe. We need at least 12 meters of diameter mirror telescope in the space to view the deepest part of the universe and to discover new planets. Humans currently don't have the capability to build that size mirror and place it in the orbit. Large diameter mirror has properties of Liquid and we are yet to overcome this problem.

Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the other planets combined, so massive that its barycenter with the Sun actually lies above the Sun's surface (1.068 solar radii from the Sun's center). It is 318 times more massive than Earth, with a diameter 11 times that of Earth, and its volume is 1300 times as great as that of Earth.
Extrasolar planets have been discovered with much greater masses. There is no clear-cut definition of what distinguishes a large planet such as Jupiter from a brown dwarf star, although the latter possesses rather specific spectral lines. Currently, if an object of solar metallicity is 13 Jupiter masses or above, large enough to burn deuterium, it is considered a brown dwarf; below that mass (and orbiting a star or stellar remnant), it is a planet. Jupiter is thought to have about as large a diameter as a planet of its composition can; adding extra mass would cause the planet to shrink due to increased gravitational compression. The process of further shrinkage with increasing mass would continue until stellar ignition was achieved. This has led some astronomers to term it a "failed star". Although Jupiter would need to be about seventy-five times as massive to become a star, the smallest red dwarf is only about 30% larger in radius than Jupiter

We hadn't find any other system in our universe. But according to our system Jupiter is the largest planet
