1-Formyl-LSD, also known as 1-formyl-N,N-diethyllysergamide and sometimes referred to as 1F-LSD, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[1][2] It is the 1-formyl derivative of LSD.[1][2][3]

Another drug, 1‐(furan‐2‐carbonyl)‐LSD (SYN-L-005), has also been referred to as "1F-LSD".[3]
