National road 1 (Polish: Droga krajowa nr 1) is a route belonging to the Polish national road network. The highway connects the northern and southern regions of Poland, running from Gdańsk to Cieszyn at the Czech border, traversing through the Pomeranian, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Łódź and Silesian voivodeships. National road 1 is a component of European highway E75. From Piotrków Trybunalski to Katowice, it is part of the route called Gierkówka. Due to the route's path, the road has four bridges over the Vistula river.
Currently, construction efforts for the A1 motorway run parallel or utilize older sections of the highway. Upon the A1 motorway's completion, current road 1 will be largely superseded.
