Insulators. This would include glass and other ceramics (stone), rubber, plastics, paper, oils and organic compounds.
Completely pure water is not a great conductor either, but most water has disolved substances that allow conduction.

Any non-conductive materials... some examples include:
Most plastics, rubbers, and other elastomers.
Paper
Gases
Glass
De-ionized water (Water only conducts if it contains ions such as salts and other such impurities)
Wood
Pretty much anything that has an atomic structure that is very far apart or one that does not easily give up electrons.
(Electricity is the movement of electrons from atom to atom throughout the material)

There are a ton of things that won't allow current to flow through them. Non-metals, molecular solids like wood or rubber, pure water...Basically, in order for something to carry a current, it must be either a solid metal or a solution which contains a large number of ions.
