The shortest mate is called "Fool's mate" and requires the cooperation (or lack of skill) by the opponent. It requires 5 moves (3+2) for White to mate Black, but only 4 moves (2+2) for Black to mate White.

Fool's mate by White

1. E3 f6

2. * g5

3. Qh5 mate

(*any move except Q-h5 or one that blocks the diagonal for the queen)
