I think the earliest one we can put a definite name to is Inanna. Much older than that you get iconography of like, a dude with a lion's head or figurines of ladies that MIGHT be some fertility idol, but we can't be sure if those were actually worshipped as gods or not. I guess there's proto-indo-european gods like Diywus Phater and such, but those are based on language recontruction and we only have guesswork about those guys.

If you take the reconstructions seriously it's likely the Proto-Indo-European pantheon, so guys like Dyeus. If not it'd be the Sumerians since that's our earliest writing. Enil, Enki, An, Ninhursag. There are depictions of deities that predate writing, but you can't really identify them.
