"Intermezzo No. 1" was an instrumental track from Swedish pop group ABBA's self-titled third album, released in April 1975. It was the first of only two songs by the group not to contain lyrics; the other was the title track of their 1976 release, Arrival.

Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the orchestral rock tune was recorded on October 16, 1974, in Stockholm's Glen and Metronome Studios[1] under the working title "Mama". In September 1975, it was released as the B-side to ABBA's single, "Mamma Mia".[2]
