Faster than Light travel (beating ultimate speed limit of nature) is common to Sci-Fi, especially Space Opera. Other names can be warping etc.
Which Sci-Fi work introduced this idea?
Note: It's possible that Greeks worked even on this. Religious texts can also mention it. But, such super-luminous travel barely has any significance in the context of the question because ultimate speed limit wasn't theorized until 1905 (when Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity released; although few decades old electromagnetism theories predicted the speed limit due to standing EM wave problem, it was far from acceptance). So, only post-1905 Sci-Fi works would be valid.
