An accurate determination of the top quark pair production cross section at the LHC provides a valuable check of the Standard Model. Given the high statistics which will be available (about one top quark pair per second, at a luminosity of 1033 cm-2 s-1), this check can be performed relatively fast after the turn on of the LHC. The prospects for measuring the total top quark pair cross section with the ATLAS detector during the initial period of LHC running will be presented here. The cross section is determined in the single lepton channel and in the dilepton channel.
