Not Thomas Crapper! Though he did invent the cystern ballcock that is still used today.

The flushing toilet was invented by John Harington around 1590.

He was a coutier of Elizabeth the First of England, and a celebrated writer and poet of his time - he got into a lot of trouble, often, with political messages not-so-well hidden in his poems and essays. He famously quothed, "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."
