The history of mirrors dates back to ancient times when mankind first saw reflections in a pond or river and considered it magic. Long before man was able to make mirrors out of glass, mirrors made of metal were used. Sheets of metal, mostly copper, was flattened and polished until it could be used as a mirror.
The mirror of the ancient Greeks and Romans was a disk of metal with a highly polished face, sometimes with a design on the back, and usually with a handle.
I don't think one person can be credited for the discovery of the mirror, sorry.

Hello,
As far as i know, it was known to the ancients.
The Ancient Greeks Used polished bronze to make mirrors, and other metals have been used thoughout the years.
On March 25, 1902, Irving W Colburn patented the sheet glass drawing machine, making the mass production of glass for windows and mirrors possible.
So Mr. Colburn THEORETICALLY invented the GLASS mirror.
Hope This Helps.

I don't know. I have a piece of rock that I dug out of the ground the other day that reflects good enough to be considered a mirror. You can also see reflections in water. I'm sure there's not one person who invented it.
