Sort of, but it was entirely mechanical and he could never get funded to build it. It was called the Analytical Engine.

Charles Babbage invented a calculating machine which he called a 'Difference Engine'. And later designed an 'Analytical Engine' though this was never built.

Ada Lovelace was a niece of Babbage. She was the daughter of the Poet Byron. She had a significant interest in mathematics, and in developing an algorithm for Babbage's Engine. She is regarded as the first computer programmer.
