Narrative:

Taking off 26L. I was the pilot flying (PF) and conducting a takeoff immediately after an airbus A320 had departed the same runway. Several seconds after rotation; we got the stick shaker/aural stall warning for 1-2 seconds. I lowered the nose slightly to gain aircraft energy without sinking and the warning went away as we climbed out and the rest of the takeoff and departure were uneventful. I believe we encountered wake turbulence from the proceeding aircraft due to the slight wing rocking and airspeed fluctuations that occurred after the nose had left the ground but just prior to the stick shaker. The weather was VFR and nothing in the area would have caused LLWS. Suggestions: often the spacing for aircraft departing atl is minimal; and I've been cleared for takeoff as the previous aircraft is rotating. So even though we were not departing behind a heavy aircraft I can see the possibility of wake turbulence encounters on a smaller scale occurring when a small regional jet such as ours departs behind a medium size airliner like the A320. Procedurally; I can't think of anything to prevent this from reoccurring besides increasing ATC separation minima.
