An automatic gain control apparatus for a wireless receiver, including multiple variable gain amplifiers, one variable gain amplifier provided for each one of multiple receive chains and a gain controller to control a gain of the variable gain amplifiers provided for the plurality of receive chains. The gain controller includes multiple output level measurement units to measure an output level of a corresponding receive chain; a common gain determination unit to determine a common gain for each of the variable gain amplifiers based on a statistical value obtained from the output levels; multiple adjusted gain determination units, each adjusted gain determination unit determining an adjusted gain independently for each variable gain amplifier within a range narrower than the range of the common; and a gain setting unit to set a gain to each of the variable gain amplifiers based on the common gain and the adjusted gain.
