In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus.

If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a Baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
