ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is a nucleotide. Nucleotide's consist of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. In ATP's case, there are 3 phosphate's attached.

A little bit extra:

ATP works like like a rechargeable battery. When one phosphate comes off, it releases energy and is now referred to as ADP. It can then regain a phosphate and "recharge" to become ATP again.
