Italian motor manufacturer Alfa Romeo has participated many times in Formula One. It most recently participated as Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake while being operated by Sauber Motorsport AG. The brand appeared sporadically in motorsport as a designer and engine supplier  between 1950 and 1987, and  as his commercial partner since 2015.

The company did not have an official presence at the top level of motorsport in the 1960s, several Formula One teams used independently developed Alfa Romeo engines to power their cars. Bernie Ecclestone, then owner of the Brabham Formula One team, persuaded Alfa Romeo to supply this engine free for the 1976 Formula One season. Although the Brabham-Alfa Romeo's first season was relatively modest, during the 1977 and 1978 World Championships their cars took 14 podium finishes, including two race victories for Niki Lauda.

The company's sporting department, Autodelta, returned as the works team in 1979. This second period as a constructor was not as successful as the first. From the time the company was reinstated until his retirement as a constructor at the end of 1985, Alfa works drivers did not win a race and the team never finished higher than sixth in the World Constructors' Championship.

The Alfa Romeo logo returned to Formula One in 2015, appearing on the Scuderia Ferrari cars.  At the end of 2017, Alfa Romeo announced that it would become Sauber's title sponsor from 2018, forming a technical and commercial partnership with the team. Alfa Romeo returned to the sport in early 2019, renamed Sauber. The team is scheduled to be taken over by Audi in 2026.
