This question has two answers. The gospels are traditionally placed in the order: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, so the first is Matthew. However, there is very strong evidence that Mark was the first gospel to be written, and that Matthew and Luke used Mark as their primary sources, so Mark was the first gospel written.

In the current order of New Testament writings, the Gospel of Matthew is first in order. This does not mean it was written first or is superior in any way.
It has long been assumed that the first gospel to be written was Matthew's Gospel. After all, it is usually the first gospel in the New Testament, and the second-century Church Fathers came to that conclusion, believing it to have been written in Hebrew.However, New Testament scholars now know that Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, and that all the gospels were actually written in Greek. We do not really know the names of the gospel authors, as they were all written anonymously until speculatively attributed to the persons whose names they now bear, later in the second century.
