Newton and Leibniz both did it around the same time. It is certain that they did it independently and without contact.
Leibniz' notation proved to be much more powerful than Newton's, and is the preferred notation today.

While some of the ideas of calculus were developed earlier, in ancient Greece and in India, the modern use of calculus began in Europe, during the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz built on the work of earlier mathematicians to introduce the basic principles of calculus. This work had a strong impact on the development of physics.

Sir Izaac Newton usually gets the credit, but it was invented almost at the same time by a German, Leibnitz or something close.
