Best Answer

Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury
http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/Protestantism/wbible.htm

While Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro is also known to come up with a systematic division of The Bible (between 1244 and 1248), it is Langton's arrangement of books and chapters that remains in use today.

Anytime someone mentions a Bible verse such as "John 3:16" or "First Corinthians 12:4" they are taking advantage of Langton's great labor of love.
