In J.K. Rowling's biography, author Connie Ann Kirk speculates that Dumbledore was inspired by J.K.Rowling's old headmaster who was called Alfred Dunn - whose initials are the same as Albus Dumbledore's.

J.K. Rowling herself has never said who inspired the character of Dumbledore, it was likely a combination of people and personalities.
