Anton van Leeuwenhoek. Or, Both:

In 1665 Robert Hooke observed and reported "many little boxes" that looked like "cells" where monks lived. He was observing the remains (non living) of cork cells. He coined the phrase "cell".

It was Anton van Leeuwenhoek who first observed and wrote about a "living cell". It was in 1673 and he was able to see things with much more detail because he made his own microscopes and was able to grind lenses so precisely that the magnification was 10 times that of Hooke's instruments.
