Metroad 1 is a major metropolitan arterial route, called a Metroad, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Metroad route signage, introduced in October 1993, is intended to make it easier for road users to follow cross-metropolitan routes which use parts of many different roads. Metroad 1 runs from its intersection with Metroad 7 at Pearces Corner at Wahroonga south-east to the Sydney CBD then from the CBD south-west to the commencement of the F6 Southern Freeway at Waterfall.

The introduction of the Metroad designation replaced National Route 1 signage, from October 1993.

Between Artarmon and Sydney Airport, Metroad 1 also forms part of the Sydney Orbital Motorway.
