Highly debatable.

John Dalton postulated the modern atomic theory, 200 years ago.

Humphrey Davy discovered many chemical elements at about the same time.

A little before this, Antoine Lavoisier worked with oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen to investigate how chemicals react together.

But I believe, and this is a personal opinion, that the true father of modern chemistry is Dmitri Mendeleev who, in creating the Periodic Table, gave use the tool to look at the differences and similarities between elements, make predictions about properties and compare reactivities, as well as showing how each element can combine with others.

The periodic table is a fantastic tool and to understand it is, in essence, to understand chemistry.
