Italian motor manufacturer Alfa Romeo has participated multiple times in Formula One. The brand has competed in motor racing as both a constructor and engine supplier sporadically between {{F1|1950}} and {{F1|1987}}, and later as a commercial partner between {{F1|2015}} and {{F1|2023}}. The company's works drivers won the first two World Drivers' Championships in the pre-war Alfetta: Nino Farina in 1950 and Juan Manuel Fangio in {{F1|1951}}. Following these successes, Alfa Romeo withdrew from Formula One.
During the 1960s, although the company had no official presence in the top tier of motorsport, several Formula One teams used independently developed Alfa Romeo engines to power their cars. In the early 1970s, Alfa provided Formula One support for their works driver Andrea de Adamich, supplying adapted versions of their 3-litre V8 engine from the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/3 sports car to power Adamich's McLaren ({{F1|1970}}) and March ({{F1|1971}}) entries. None of these engine combinations scored championship points.
In the mid-1970s, Alfa engineer Carlo Chiti designed a flat-12 engine to replace the T33 V8, which achieved some success in taking the 1975 World Sportscar Championship. 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 {{F1|1977}} and {{F1|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 {{F1|1979}}. This second period as a constructor was less successful than the first. Between the company's return and its withdrawal as a constructor at the end of {{F1|1985}}, Alfa works drivers did not win a race and the team never finished higher than sixth in the World Constructors' Championship. The team's engines were also supplied to Osella from {{F1|1983}} to 1987, but they scored only two World Championship points during this period.
The Alfa Romeo logo returned to Formula One in 2015, appearing on the Scuderia Ferrari cars. Alfa Romeo became the title sponsor for the Ferrari-powered Sauber team from {{F1|2018}}, and this commercial partnership was increased to a full renaming of the team beginning in {{F1|2019}}. Alfa Romeo did not have any technical involvement with the team, and the company ended its sponsorship of Sauber after {{F1|2023}} and left Formula One to allow the team to be taken over by Audi from 2026.

Before World War II, Alfa Romeo was a dominant presence in Grand Prix motor racing.

The success was replicated the following year by Juan Manuel Fangio while driving an Alfetta 159 (an evolution of the 158 with a two-stage compressor).{{Cite web |title=The GP 159 "Alfetta": The Last Dominator |url=https://www.fcaheritage.com/en-uk/heritage/stories/alfa-romeo-159 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711012334/https://www.fcaheritage.com/en-uk/heritage/stories/alfa-romeo-159 |archive-date=11 July 2021 |access-date=23 July 2023 |website=FCA Heritage }} The Alfetta's engines were extremely powerful for their capacity: in 1951 the 159 engine was producing around {{convert|420|bhp|abbr=on}} but this was at the price of fuel consumption of 125 to 175 litres per 100 km (1.5 mpg–U.S. / 3 mpg–imp).
Surprisingly, the team won the two World Drivers' Championships on a very limited budget, using only nine engine blocks that were built before the war.{{Cite web |last=Ferrari |first=Luca |date=22 February 2021 |title=Alfa Romeo: la storia del 'Biscione' in F1 |url=https://www.formulapassion.it/motorsport/storia/alfa-romeo-la-storia-del-biscione-f1-formula1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230724102616/https://www.formulapassion.it/motorsport/storia/alfa-romeo-la-storia-del-biscione-f1-formula1 |archive-date=24 July 2023 |access-date=24 July 2023 |website=FormulaPassion.it |language=it-IT }} In 1952, facing increased competition from Ferrari, the Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale, a public holding company controlling Alfa Romeo, decided to withdraw the team from Formula One after the Italian government's refusal to fund the expensive design of a new car to replace the 13-year-old model.

None of these teams scored a single Championships point.
In 1962, Peter de Klerk created a custom-made, single-seater racing special built for the South African Formula One Championship, powered by an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.5-litre straight-4 engine, which was christened as the Alfa Special.{{Cite web |title=Alfa Romeo Special |url=http://www.f1db.com/f1/page/Alfa_Romeo_Special |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110806081831/http://www.f1db.com/f1/page/Alfa_Romeo_Special |archive-date=6 August 2011 |access-date=6 August 2011 |website=F1DB.com}} The Special participated in two World Championship Grands Prix, retiring at the 1963 South African Grand Prix and finishing 10th at the 1965 South African Grand Prix.

At the end of the 1960s, Alfa Romeo was developing a new V8 engine for its racing cars, which was briefly tested on the Cooper T86C F1-3-68 by Lucien Bianchi.{{Cite web |title=Cooper T86C Alfa Romeo |url=http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/614/Cooper-T86C-Alfa-Romeo.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131006091049/http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/614/Cooper-T86C-Alfa-Romeo.html |archive-date=6 October 2013 |access-date=12 June 2011 |work=Ultimatecarpage.com}}
Alfa Romeo briefly returned to Formula One for the {{F1|1970}} and {{F1|1971}} seasons with a V8 engine based on their sportscar unit used on the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33.{{Cite web |title=McLaren M7D history |url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/mclaren/m7d/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605225612/https://www.oldracingcars.com/mclaren/m7d/ |archive-date=5 June 2023 |access-date=24 August 2023 |website=OldRacingCars.com}}{{Cite web |title=McLaren M14D history |url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/mclaren/m14d/ |access-date=24 August 2023 |website=OldRacingCars.com}}{{Cite web |title=March 711 car-by-car histories |url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/march/711/ |access-date=24 August 2023 |website=OldRacingCars.com}} In 1970, the unit was mainly entrusted to Andrea de Adamich, a long time Alfa driver, in the McLaren M7D and M14D. The combination often failed to qualify and was uncompetitive when it did run in the races. In 1971, a similar arrangement saw de Adamich run most of the second half of the season in a March 711, with a similar lack of success.

In 1976, Bernie Ecclestone did a deal for the Brabham Formula One team to use Alfa Romeo engines based on their new flat-12 sports car unit designed by Carlo Chiti.{{Cite web |last=Hudson |first=Violet |title=Bernie Ecclestone – How one man came to own a sport |url=https://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/bernie-ecclestone-how-one-man-came-to-own-a-sport/ |access-date=28 August 2023 |website=Gentleman's Journal}}{{Cite web |last=Fearnley |first=Paul |date=September 2021 |title=Uncovering the lost genius of 'Uncle' Carlo Chiti |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-2021/112/uncovering-the-lost-genius-of-uncle-carlo-chiti/ |access-date=28 August 2023 |website=Motor Sport}} The engines were free and produced a claimed {{convert|510|bhp|abbr=on}} against the {{convert|465|bhp|abbr=on}} of the ubiquitous Cosworth DFV;{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|p=159}} however, the 12-cylinder Alfa engine was heavier and used more oil and water than the 8-cylinder DFV, because of more mechanical processes going on in it.{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|pp=159–160}} Packaging the engines was difficult – they had to be removed to change the spark plugs – and the high fuel consumption engine required no fewer than four separate fuel tanks to contain {{Convert|47|impgal|L USgal|0}} of fuel. While the Brabham BT45 (1976) proved quite unsuccessful,{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|pp=159–165}} the upgraded BT45B (1977) represented an proviment.{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|pp=163–171}} Gordon Murray's increasingly adventurous designs, like the BT46 which won two races in 1978 (the Swedish and the Italian Grand Prixs) and finished third in the Constructors standings, were partly a response to the challenge of producing a suitably light and aerodynamic chassis around the bulky unit.{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|pp=171–213}} When aerodynamic ground effect became critical in 1978, it was clear that the low, wide engines would interfere with the large venturi tunnels under the car which were needed to create the ground effect. At Murray's instigation, Alfa produced a narrower V12 design in only three months for the 1979 season, but it proved to be unreliable and fuel-inefficient.{{Harvcolnb|Henry|1985|p=190}}

By 1988, the last turbo season, Alfa was fed up with the negative publicity generated by Osella's cars, so the Milan-based manufacturer prohibited the further use of its name in connection with the engine. As a result, the 1988 Alfa engines mounted on the FA1L were simply dubbed "Osella V8".{{Cite web |last=Privitera |first=Marco |date=17 December 2015 |title=Alfa Romeo e Formula 1: storia di un amore destinato a rifiorire? |url=https://www.livegp.it/alfa-romeo-e-formula-1-storia-di-un-amore-destinato-a-rifiorire/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519101355/https://www.livegp.it/alfa-romeo-e-formula-1-storia-di-un-amore-destinato-a-rifiorire/ |archive-date=19 May 2020 |access-date=29 November 2023 |website=LiveGP.it |language=it-IT}} At the end of that season, the relationship finished, signifying the end of Alfa Romeo's involvement in Formula One for about three decades.

At 12,500rpm, the peak power reached slightly over 600bhp, and the maximum torque was 373Nm. After the co-operation with Ligier was cancelled in 1986, the engine was made available for the 164 Pro Car project and ultimately never raced in F1.{{Cite web |date=19 May 2015 |title=Alfa V10 164 Pro Car |url=http://velocetoday.com/cars/cars_134.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523002458/https://velocetoday.com/alfa-romeo-164-v10-pro-car-from-f1-to-four-door/ |archive-date=23 May 2015 |access-date=17 December 2023 |work=VeloceToday.com}}
