This list is not intended to be fact. The following are arguably some of the more famous physicists of modern times:
Albert Einstein (Special and General Relativity)
Richard Feynman (Quantum Electrodynamics)
James Clerk Maxwell (Electromagnetism)
Ludwig Boltzmann (Thermodynamics)
Erwin Schrödinger (Quantum Mechanics)
Werner Heisenberg (Quantum Mechanics)
Isaac Newton (Classical Mechanics / Gravitation)
Edwin Hubble (Cosmology)
Stephen Hawking (Cosmology)
Max Planck (Quantum Mechanics)
I would include Galileo Galilei and Benjamin Franklin, but their fame is mostly derived from their contributions to astronomy and politics, respectively. Other famous people who have made contributions to physics include Thomas Edison, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Stephen Wolfram, Wernher von Braun, Archimedes, Carl Gauss etc.
