Yes, somewhere there must be a small asteroid just falling into a Black Hole at an oblique angle. It will be moving at a big fraction of the speed of light.
There are plusars that have been ejected from a binary star system and are moving at about 2000 kilometers per second.
Almost all of the Universe beyond our event horizon is moving faster than the speed of light with respect to us. But that's just universal expansion.

The Speed Red Shift Theory is one theory that is used to explain the red shifting of stars and galaxies. This theory suggest that these objects are moving away from us at a very high speed, the more distant the galaxy the greater the red shift. There are other theories that may also explain the red shifting of star light but I won't go into that now. Scientists believe that it is impossible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light. However Astronomers have noticed light objects with incredibly high red shifts referred to as Quasars. Some Quasars show red shifts of 200 and 300 percent which would equal distances of up to 12 billion light years. Some Quasars show speeds exceeding 90% the speed of light. As a result of this discovery some astronomers dropped the speed red shift theory as the explanation for the red shifting of star light. Then more discoveries were made of Quasars showing red shifts of 300-400%. Astronomers discovered 3 Quasars that were exceeding the speed of light. One was traveling at 8x the speed of light. This discovery has created big problems for evolutionists. "An increase of 100 percent in the Hubble Constant would decrease the computed age of the universe by 50 percent." (Vincent A, Ettari)

Last time I checked, photons move at the speed of light, and they are certainly material objects, since they have mass.
None are faster than any others, and most people don't take the time to pick any out and name them.

I will take a guess.
An object passing the event horizon of a black hole will approach the speed of light before it is destroyed and most of the mass is converted primarily to energy.

define material?
protons and electrons can go like .99999c or something near that.

Not a good question. All speeds are relative to the observer.
