The founder of Taoism is generally considered to be Laozi (or Lao Tse, Lao Tu, or other variants). A link can be found below.

The founder of Taoism is believed by many religious historians to be Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), whose life overlapped that of Confucius (551-479 BCE).

Lao-tzu (whose real name was Li Er) is generally listed as the founder of Taoism and author of its primary text, the Tao Te Ching.
