Emperor is an English word. The Latin word Imperator means 'General' So you can take your pick really between Julius Caesar and Augustus.
Up until about 1750 most historians considered Julius the First.
Augustus however founded a state administration the 'Principate' known from his title of Princeps, which continued after him.

Pompei declared himself to be the emperor and that is what created the war between him and Julius Caesar, then Julius wanted to be one and he was assassinated for that, and then his horrible nephew Octavian was declared the official Emperor, so that the Senate would stay in their seats that is what he promised all of them before the assassination of Julius.
And Octavian caused the deaths of Marc Anthony and Cleopatra and Julius Caesar's son Caesarian by Cleo. He was a horrible man and most of them were, because it was Caesar that ordered the death of Jesus over the taxes.

joteropr is right, except for the small detail that Gaius Octavianus Caesar Augustus was Julius Caesar's grand nephew, not nephew.
