When Jesus died. He assigned Peter to be the head of the church on earth after his ascention into Heaven. So technically Peter was the first pope.

If you are asking about the first pope, it would depend on who you would believe as the best source. The Roman Catholic Church says that Simon Peter was the first Bishop of Rome. However, there are [many] people who disagree with this claim. If you research this yourself, you will find that there are many people who are claimed to be the first Bishop of Rome (Constantine I, Simon Magus, and many others).
