Volkswagen currywurst is a brand of sausage that has been produced by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen since 1973. It is manufactured at the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant and sold in restaurants in its six German factories. The sausages are also sold at supermarkets and football stadiums and given to Volkswagen customers. The sausage is branded as a Volkswagen Originalteil "Volkswagen Original Part" under part number 199 398 500 A.

The product has been described as the most produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, with some 7 million sausages being manufactured in 2019 alone.[1] In many recent years the company has produced more sausages than cars. Volkswagen plans to ban all factory-farmed meat from its staff cafeterias by 2025.[2] A Volkswagen ketchup, Volkswagen Originalteil 199 398 500 B, is also produced to accompany the currywurst.
