Taoism as a philosophy is based on Chinese texts by Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu. Taoism as a religious movement consists of several sects. I don't think it can be traced to a single founder.

Taoism is attributed to Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher who is believed to have written the Tao Te Ching, a foundational text of Taoist philosophy.
