Almost all green plants, including many common vegetables, are rich in chlorophyll.  Popular sources include leafy greens, wheat grass, broccoli, asparagus, peas, and herbs such as alfalfa.  Note, however, that overcooking destroys chlorophyll.

As a supplement, chlorophyll comes in a few different forms, including tablets and in liquid form.
