The autostrada A1, officially named Amber Highway (Polish: Autostrada Bursztynowa) is a north–south motorway in Poland that runs from Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea, through Łódź and the Upper Silesian Industry Area (to the west of Katowice), to the Polish-Czech border in Gorzyczki/Věřňovice, where it connects with the motorway D1. Its total length is 566.6 km (352.1 mi). Except for its southernmost section, A1 is a part of European route E75.

The motorway was constructed between 2005 and 2022. The section from Gdańsk to Toruń is tolled (see Tolls).
