The paper presents various soft QCD related measurements performed by the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC using early Run 2 proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV as well as Run 1 data at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. The paper covers the measurement of total, elastic and inelastic proton-proton cross-section. The measurement of the charged particle production properties and the measurement of the distributions sensitive to the underlying event are also presented. Finally, the diffractive dijet production and the exclusive $\gamma + \gamma \rightarrow \ell \ell$ production are described
