The Régional 1, formerly known as the Division d'Honneur, is the generic name for the sixth-tier football league competitions run by each of the 13 regional leagues in France. Clubs may be promoted from these leagues into the Championnat National 3, subject to certain criteria. The name is also used for the highest level of football in the French overseas departments and regions of Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion.

Each region administers its own league under its own rules and may give it a distinct name. Some clubs are semi-professional, and qualifying reserve and academy teams of clubs competing at higher levels are also eligible to enter.
