I suppose the most objective answer is Agincourt.
Personal favorites of mine include Nobunaga's sneak victory at Okehazama (1560), outnumbered 10 to 1 and won through deceit); and Davout at Auerstadt (1806), giving the Prussian Army a thorough spanking with a single corps.
There's also a mention to be made of the Austro-Prussian War (1870-71). It may be understandable now, but most observers expected France to prevail with relative ease. As it was, it took Moltke a month to capture Napoleon III and humiliate what was - mistakenly - perceived to be the strongest army in Europe.
