1st parallel south

File:1st parallel Tanzania.png's northern border with Uganda, and a short section of its border with Kenya.]]

The 1st parallel south is a circle of latitude that is 1 degree (69.2 miles/111.36 kilometers) south of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Australasia, the Pacific Ocean and South America.

The parallel defines most of the border between Uganda and Tanzania, and a very short section of the border between Kenya and Tanzania.{{cite journal | vauthors=((Médard, H.)) | journal=The International Journal of African Historical Studies | title="The Kagera River and the Making of a Contested Boundary: Territorial Legacies and Colonial Demarcations in Buganda (19th–20th Centuries) " with Ikram Kidari | volume=52 | pages=11–30 | date=1 May 2019}}
