U.S. Route 1/9 is the concurrency of U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 9 from Woodbridge Township, New Jersey north to New York City, New York, United States. It is commonly known as "1 and 9", and many signs combine the two numbers into one shield, separted by a hyphen (1-9) or, less commonly, an ampersand (1&9).

The south end of the concurrency is the merge of US 1 and US 9 in Woodbridge. From there the route runs north as a surface road with some jughandles through Linden and Elizabeth. At Route 81, a freeway begins, carrying the route around the west side of Newark Liberty International Airport and onto the Newark Viaduct and Pulaski Skyway (except for trucks, which must use surface U.S. Route 1-9 Truck). At the east end of the Skyway, US 1/9 exits at Tonnelle Circle, merges with 1-9 Truck, and again becomes a surface road to the merge with U.S. Route 46 in Palisades Park. The three routes run together on an early freeway, merging into the George Washington Bridge approach (Interstate 95) and over the bridge. US 46 ends in the middle at the state line, but US 1 and US 9 continue over, where US 9 exits almost immediately onto Broadway, ending the concurrency.
