The first Periodic Table was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in the mid-19th century.He wasn't the only person thinking along those lines ... both John Newlands and Lothar Meyer had proposed similar ideas
However, Newlands was largely criticized and ignored at the time, and Meyer didn't make any predictions, so Mendeleev's table (which did make predictions about the properties of several as-yet-undiscovered elements) is generally regarded as the first.
Dmitri Mendeleyev invented it using inspiration from his favourite game: Patience! In 1955, Element 101 was named Mendelevium in his honour. So he ended up on his own table!
Nobody specifically discovered the periodic table of elements, but Dmitri Mendeleev was the one who put it all together.
I think one can do better than that. At least 6 people discovered the periodic table. Mendeleev was the last of these six although his table and subsequent use that he put it to was by far the most comprehensive. The others were De Chancourtois (French), Odling (English), Newlands (Englsh), Hinrichs (Danish), Lothar Meyer (Geraman).

With the information he gathered about the elements, he was able to see that there were missing elements that hadn't been discovered. He could figure out the atomic masses of the missing elements by averaging the atomic masses of the elements above and below the missing one. One such element, which he called "eka-silicon" (eventually Ge) was missing, but with understanding of the patterns the periodic table made, he predicted the elements appearance, melting point, atomic mass, density, formula of oxide, and formula of chloride.
Throughout the years, other scientists were able to find or create these missing elements to form the table we know today. Today's periodic table is ordered by atomic number instead of atomic mass (as Mendeleev had started). Henry Moseley was the first to order the elements by atomic number so elements would fit together in groups/families and periods better in 1913.
Henry Moseley created the modern periodic table by putting the elements in order by atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev made the first periodic table that could successfully predict future elements, but ordered his elements by atomic mass, which we do not do today.
The person who devised (made/thought of/ thought up) the periodic table was Dimitri Mendeleev! Hope this helps!
Dmitri Mendeleev was the first scientist to create a periodic table of the elements similar to the one we use today. You can also see Mendeleev's original table (1869).

The Periodic Table of Science Fiction was created on 2005-07-01.
"The Periodic Table" is a book written by Primo Levi in 1975. It is a collection of stories linked to elements from the periodic table, reflecting Levi's experiences as a chemist and Holocaust survivor.
