Daedric Prince
From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion
The Daedric Princes, also called Daedra Lords, rule all other Daedra, and are worshipped by some mortals. Each Lord rules a particular domain, or portfolio. There are seventeen named Daedric Princes (though see the note below). Although some appear as female, they are gender-less and are all referred to as "Princes".

[edit] Note about Sheogorath
It is debatable whether Sheogorath should be included as a separate Daedric Prince, given the events which occurred on the Shivering Isles at the transition between the Third and Fourth Ages. Prior to this, Sheogorath was actually an alternate "personality" of Jyggalag, imposed upon him by the other Princes. This means that there were only sixteen distinct beings represented by the seventeen known Daedric Princes, though for all practical purposes, Jyggalag and Sheogorath were two different Lords. After the events on Shivering Isles, Jyggalag has permanently reverted to his original form, and the being now called "Lord Sheogorath" by the Isle's inhabitants is a mortal, not a daedra.
