The Ricoh GR21 comes to mind, field of view should be 90 degrees or so ? |

Fujica gs645w with 45mm lens, but the Hasselblad wide with 38mm lens is the widest on medium format, I believe.

Well, as long as you speak only about the field of view - then it must be the Voigtlaender 12/5.6 - I think the widest rectilinear (non fish eye) lens ever made (or at least one of the widest).
Now if you are interested in particular format or camera type, things get different. For MF it could be Mamiya 7 with the 43mm lens, for panoramic maybe the 30/5.6 for xpan, for 4x5" probably the Super Angulon XL 47/5.6.
Then there are those rotating panoramic cameras I know little about that go up to 360 degrees (do they?)
EDIT: I just realized (sorry) that you probably meant fixed lens RF cameras. What about the Fuji G690 with 50/5.6 lens (I know it is exchangeable lens camera, but it is very similar to the later, fixed lens GSW690, which has 65/5.6 lens)

are you asking about fixed-lens as in prime, or fixed-lens as in non-interchangeable rangefinders like a canonet or a pen?

I was gonna say the Konica Wai-Wai with 17mm wide angle, but I guess the Widelux takes the cake because of its design!

Non interchangeable as in pen/trip/cheap. 
Way back when I was more of a telephoto shooter but the Fuji fixed wide angle caught my attention and it occurred to me that a fixed wide angle could be an interesting days shooting that would force me to experiment and learn. |

I guess panoramics don't count? Otherwise it's easy: Seitz Roundshot - 360 degrees.

As per Matus, 12mm CV (121* FoV), since we're in a 35mm thread. Don't need rangefinding at these focal lengths.

For MF there is the Arsat/Zodiak 30mm≈180° on 6 x 6.
The Konica Wai Wai were "disposable" 35mm film cameras that seem to be fairly easy to reload. They have a flash as well but I suspect the battery for the flash is not so easily replaced.
