The national road SH1 (Albanian: Rruga Shtetërore 1) is a national highway in Albania. It has a length of 125 kilometres (78 mi) across the counties of Durrës, Lezhë, Shkodër and Tirana.

As part of the European routes E762 and E851, the highway constitute portion of a larger corridor connecting Montenegro in the northwest with Tirana in the southwest thus forming as well as part of the Adriatic-Ionian motorway.[1][2][3][4][5]

In recent years, the road has been undergoing major reconstruction works in several parts.
