The answer lies in the question.
It is called "The Heliocentric Theory" for a reason. But don't let yourself be confused by that.
There is a common misconception that the good Theories in science grow up to become Laws, when that simply isn't true. In everyday vernacular, "Theory" is described as a postulated guess. In science, it is quite different.
A Law describes what nature does under certain conditions, and predicts what will happen as long as those conditions are met.
A theory, on the other hand, explains how nature works.
Indeed, one only needs to recognize that it is a fact that the earth orbits the sun, then look at what that principle is called (A "theory") to realize that "Theories" have a lot more going for them than people think.

If you mean what scientist created the heliocentric theory, it was Nicolaus Copernicus.
