The fastest one would be the New Horizons mission to Pluto. See the first source. Runners up would be the Voyager 1 and 2 and Pioneer 10 and 11, which are currently escaping from the solar system. See the other sources. I know, that is only 4.

NASA's X-Fleet
If not for the X-planes, America might never have reached space. It was in the first X-plane, X-1, that Chuck Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound in 1947. More than 100 X-plane variations have followed, each one furthering our understanding of spacecraft design. Today, there are several new X-planes being developed. We will take a look at three of them:
The X-37, which will test many space plane technologies, including re-entry capabilities.
The X-34, a suborbital vehicle that will test technologies to reduce cost, time and personnel for space launches.
The X-33, a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) that is a prototype for a space shuttle replacement.
Of the three X-planes mentioned above, the X-37 is the newest and fastest.
