The idea that the matter consists of minimum units, i.e. atoms, was proposed by an ancient Greek philosopher, Demokritos (Ancient Greece, ~ B.C. 500). "Atom" means "unable to be divided".
Theory of atom was proposed in 1808 by J. Dalton (UK, 1766 - 1844). It is the first scientific atomism.
Martin Deutsch, Physicist discovered Atom in the year 1951.
Sage Kanad (circa 600 BCE) is recognized as the founder of atomic theory, and classified all the objects of creation into nine elements (earth, water, light or fire, wind, ether, time, space, mind and soul). He stated that every object in creation is made of atoms that in turn connect with each other to form molecules nearly 2,500 years before John Dalton. Further, Kanad described the dimension and motion of atoms, and the chemical reaction with one another. The eminent historian, T.N. Colebrook said, "Compared to scientists of Europe, Kanad and other Indian scientists were the global masters in this field."
However, neglectin the Indian and greek beliefs, it is universally accepted that John Dalton and Martin Deutsch are major contributors. It's a stupid fundamental that the world follows - 'Nothing is accepted untill attested by the west...' Discovery of America is credited to them inspite of the fact that human races existed long before columbus or amerigo reacherd there, the theory of earth being round was stated in few mytholigical stories but they are not paid the credit, and a lot more such examples.
