Speed is a statistic which, along with acceleration, determines how quickly a unit can move.
In StarCraft speeds are based on flingy.dat and iscript.bin. If a unit is controlled by flingy.dat, its top speed in pixels/frame is top speed/256.
In StarCraft II, speeds are displayed under the armor tooltip as a decimal number. Up until the release of Wings of Liberty, they instead used words such as "fast" instead of numbers.
