Actually most would consider my Great, Great, Great, Great,Great, Great Grandfather Adam Ferguson to be. Here is what Wiki had to say on the subject:

Adding to this:
The father of modern sociological thought would be Auguste Comte. Although Comtes ideas are slightly outdated and rather sexist, the basic concepts that he proposed are the foundations for modern sociology.
Comte lived in the generation after the French Revolution. He sought to explain how the world could transform so radically in such a short period of time (remembering that human rights, choice, and the infinite perfectibility of man were concepts unheard of before this era).
In his reconciliation of Liberal and Conservative thoughts, he was the first person to look at society as an evolving organism. He believed that Conservative thought was like that of a child. The Liberal thought (those that fueled the French Revolution) was a reflection of rebellious teenage years. And the combination of the two was the mature adult phase of society.
The idea that society is an evolving organism is the framework for the theoretical concepts of Durkheim, Marx, and Weber. Contemporary sociologists are based on the work of these guys. Therefore, when a sociologists asks who's your Daddy? You can now say Auguste Comte.
Key contributions of the fathers of sociology include Auguste Comte's development of positivism and the idea of sociology as a science, Émile Durkheim's work on social solidarity and the division of labor, and Max Weber's emphasis on the role of culture and religion in shaping societal values and actions. Karl Marx's theories on class struggle, capitalism, and social change also greatly influenced the field of sociology.
The fathers of sociology include Émile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, and Auguste Comte. Karl Marx is the father of the conflict theory in sociology.
