SCP-001 is a designation used within the SCP Foundation for a proposed, unconfirmed, or highly significant anomaly that is presented as a potential candidate for SCP-001. The SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization tasked with securing, containing, and protecting anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena that disrupt natural law. The SCP-001 slot is reserved for entries that are considered to be of paramount importance, often representing the origin or a fundamental aspect of the Foundation's existence or the nature of the anomalous world.

Multiple proposals for SCP-001 exist, each offering a distinct narrative and interpretation of what the "first" SCP might be. These proposals are not official canon in a strict sense but are instead part of the collaborative storytelling and world-building of the SCP Foundation. They often explore themes of creation, destruction, the nature of reality, and the Foundation's own purpose. The designation of SCP-001 is deliberately ambiguous, allowing for creative freedom and continuous development within the SCP universe. Researchers and contributors to the SCP Foundation can propose their own SCP-001 entries, contributing to the ongoing debate and exploration of the Foundation's lore. The true nature of SCP-001, if any single entity or event holds that title, remains a mystery.
