Galileo Galilei invented a thermoscope, but it wasn't as accurate as a thermometer. Santorio Santorio invented the first TRUE thermometer.
(And yes, those were their real first and last names. What were their parents thinking?)

Galileo Galilei invented one of the first thermometers but the improved thermometer we use today was invented by Robert Hooke.

The answer is Galileo. In 1592 he made a device that measures temperature. It had one obvious design flaw, it didn’t have any numbers on it. So his friend and colleague Santorio corrected that and it was Santorio who first used the thermometer to measure human temperature by having a patient hold one end of it.

Some prehistoric woman stuck her elbow in the water before she washed her baby. I don't know her name. I doubt if her mate washed himself or the baby. :)
