Most infamous of all was the Black Death, a medieval pandemic that swept through Asia and Europe. It reached Europe in the late 1340s, killing an estimated 25 million people. The Black Death lingered on for centuries, particularly in cities. Outbreaks included the Great Plague of London (1665-66), in which one in five residents died.

As far a shear numbers the 1918 flu pandemic. However as a percentage of a population the plague killed 1/3 of the European population. I guess it depends.
