You can find that app from the App Store app list. Here is what you should do:

Go to your App Store > Go to your Profile > Go to Apps > Select My Apps > Here, you can see the list of currently and previously downloaded apps on your iPhone > As you said you deleted the app by mistake; you can go to the "Not on this iPhone" tab and check the list of apps to see which one you deleted by mistake. 

Let me know if that works for you!

FYI, you're responding to a post that's over a year old and which has been correctly answered repeatedly in the last five pages.

There is no recently deleted list for apps on the iPhone. You will have to determine which app it was. Once you have, then the deleted/removed app is probably still existing in the App Library. The App Library is the Last Home Screen when you continue to SWIPE LEFT (on the home screen) until you reach it. Once you are in the App Library, then you can try and locate the app and then TOUCH, HOLD and DRAG the app out of there and place it on to your favorite part of the Home Screen.
