If you mean Pythagoras's Theorem, the traditional answer is Pythagoras, somewhere around 550 BC.

Pythagoras started a mathematical tradition that continued until about 400 BC, and either Pythagoras or one of his followers in the tradition proposed the theorem. Unfortunately esentially no writings from that time survive, so we don't know exactly who was responsible.

[Note: In my country BC is the common usage; in yours it may be BCE.]

The Pythagorean theorem was proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. However, it is worth noting that although the theorem is credited to Pythagoras, evidence suggests that it was known and used by other civilizations before him.
