The invention discloses an automatic algae removal device used for removing floating algae in a water body. The automatic algae removal device comprises a fixed rack, a filtering net installing support, a filtering net, a lifting device used for driving the filtering net to lift and a flushing device used for cleaning the filtering net; and two guide rails are fixed to the side walls of water channel gates on the left and right sides of the water body correspondingly, the filtering net is arranged in a manner of surrounding the filtering net installing support in the up-and-down manner, a gapis reserved between the filtering net and the filtering net installing support, the lower portion of the filtering net installing support extends into the water body, the filtering net is connected with a filtering net driving device used for driving the filtering net to continuously rotate around the filtering net installing support, and the filtering net driving device comprises a first supporting plate, a second supporting plate, a first motor, a driving chain wheel, a driving chain, a transmission chain wheel, a driving chain wheel set, a movable chain set, a first guide chain wheel set, asecond guide chain wheel set, a first driven chain wheel set and a second driven chain wheel set. By means of the automatic algae removal device, the mechanical stopping manner is adopted, the floating algae at different depths of the water body is removed, and meanwhile, twenty-four continuous algae removal can be achieved.
