It is normally called the pitching rubber or more simply the rubber, but the actual name is the the pitcher's plate.
This is from the official Major League Rule Book:
1.07
The pitcher’s plate shall be a rectangular slab of whitened rubber, 24 inches by 6 inches. It shall be set in the ground as shown in Diagrams 1 and 2, so that the distance between the pitcher’s plate and home base (the rear point of home plate) shall be 60 feet, 6 inches.
