Depending on how you mean that, it was Atticus Finch in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. But if you want to be technical about it, he is telling a story about how his father said that to him. So you could reasonably say that his father said it, and he repeated it. Of course, Harper Lee, who wrote the novel, is the one who really said (or at least wrote) it.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, it's said that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird due to its innocence. Tom Robinson is like a mockingbird because he was innocent of hurting others.

Surprisingly enough, To Kill a Mockingbird.
In Chapter 10 of "To Kill A Mockingbird" we are finally given the story behind the title of the novel. There is a metaphor that shows mockingbirds in a pure and innocent light. It is as if the mockingbird represents innocence and killing it represents the evils of the world. Scout recalls that the only time she ever heard Atticus say that something was a sin was when he said "Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." She then asks Miss Maudie about this and Miss Maudie responds "Your father is right...Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." They are saying that the mockingbird is such an innocent creature that by killing it you commit terrible sin.
his theories are it is a sin to kill a mockingbird and everyone deserves equal respect.
Well Atticus does say "It is a sin too kill a mocking bird."And at the end scout said it too.
A song bird that does nothing but give us, humans, pleasure. It is considered a "sin" to kill a Mockingbird
Atticus mentioned this sentence in the 1st part of the book. He was teaching Jem to shoot with an air gun. After Jem learned how to use the gun, he tried to train by shooting birds. It was his initial decision and he requested for Atticus' permission to do so.At this moment, Atticus said that Jem could shoot all the bluejays that he wanted, but reminded him not to shoot any mockingbirds. He said that "it was a sin to kill a mockingbird," and his reason was that "Mockingbirds do not a thing but sing their hearts out for us, so it a sin to kill a mockingbird."Atticus
In the context of Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," killing a mockingbird is symbolic of destroying innocence and causing harm to those who are defenseless. It represents a moral wrong and carries emotional weight in the story.
"Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Your father's right," she said. "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Atticus never says, nor even hints, that he would ever kill a mockingbird.
They say its a "Sin" To Kill a Mockingbird because they don't do anything much to harm us or anything we do, and they make peaceful music for them also.
