There are two ways to answer this question. The twelth person, out of a total of twelve moonwalkers, to walk on the moon was Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, LMP of Apollo 17. In doing so he became the last person to step foot on the moon, but he was not the last man to ever stand on the moon.
Due to NASA's flight rules, Gene Cernan, as Commander of the mission, was the first to exit the LM at the beginning of each EVA and the last to reenter the LM at the end of each EVA. This makes Gene Cernan the eleventh man to step foot on the moon, but the last person to stand on the moon.
As a side note, when Jack stepped off the LM landing pad onto the moon's surface he became the first (and, so far, only) geologist to ever explore a celestial body, other than the Earth, in person.
US Astronaut Dr. Harrison Schmitt (born July 3, 1935) who departed the lunar surface on December 17, 1972 (UTC). Schmitt and Eugene Cernan, the lunar EVA crew for Apollo 17, spent 6 days on the moon, from December 11 to December 17, 1972.

∙ 11y agoThe last two people to walk on the moon were Americans Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan. They were the crew of the lunar module that landed on moon in December 1972, and were 2/3rds of the crew of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon. The other crew member orbited overhead in the command module.
Commander Cernan was the first person out of the LM on the first EVA, followed shortly by Jack Schmitt. At the end of the last EVA, Schmitt re-entered the LM first, so while he was the last to make new footprints on the moon, the last person to stand on the moon's surface was Gene Cernan.
