  We present the measurement of the inclusive electron spectrum in
proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, using 1.3 pb-1 of
data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Signal
electrons in the transverse momentum range 7 < pt < 26 GeV and within |eta|
<2.0, excluding 1.37<|eta|<1.52, are extracted from the dominant hadron and
conversion backgrounds. After subtraction of the small W/Z/gamma* contribution,
the cross-section as a function of pt is found to be in good agreement with
theoretical predictions for heavy flavour production from Fixed Order NLO
calculations with Next-to-Leading-Log high pt resummation.
