A1 is a steak sauce, a condiment used for steaks and burgers. It was originally developed in 1824 by Henderson William Brand, chef to King George IV of the United Kingdom. The sauce was entered at the 1862 International Exposition in London where it was proclaimed "A1". By the early 1900s, the sauce was introduced in North America; it is now manufactured by Kraft Foods.

A1 sauce contains raisins and as recently as the 1990s, it contained anchovies, but currently does not.

The food service version of A1 now contains high fructose corn syrup.
