Sumario:Measurements of inclusive and differential top-quark production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV and 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider using the ATLAS detector are presented. The inclusive measurements of top quark pair and single top quark production are compared to the best available theoretical calculations. Differential measurements of the kinematic properties of top quark events are also discussed. These measurements, including results using boosted top quarks, probe our understanding of top quark production up to the TeV scale.
