Depends how you define "automatic"
Gatling built a gun that automatically fired and reloaded repeatedly from a magazine with the turn of a crank.
Hiram Maxim made a gun that used the energy of the last fired round to reload repeatedly from a belt.
So depending how you define "automatic", either Maxim, or Gatling.
