I believe the biggest star is called Antares in the Scorpio constellation, over 600 times the radius of our sun !!!

Biggest based on mass (weight) or based on diameter (size)?
The biggest based on diameter is Antares, diameter about 3 AU.
The most massive is LBV 1806-20 at 150 times the sun's mass (its also pretty big in diameter at 500 times the sun's radius.

Whatever we measure as the biggest star we can NOT determine to be the biggest star because we can see billions of stars but because of the vast distance between us and them, we can not measure how big they are. So there is no way of measuring the biggest star.
