A stamp collector is referred to as a philatelist. The word is derived from Greek and refers to the love of pre-paid taxes, a reference to paying for the service when you buy the stamp and getting it by affixing it to a letter or package.

The word philatelist is also used to refer to someone who studies stamps, but who may not actually collect them.

Of course, another common name for a person who collects stamps is a stamp collector!
