{{DISPLAYTITLE:5-HT<sub>1</sub> receptor}}
The '''5-HT<sub>1</sub> receptors''' are a subfamily of the 5-HT serotonin receptors that bind to the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT).<ref name="pmid7938165">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hoyer D, Clarke DE, Fozard JR, Hartig PR, Martin GR, Mylecharane EJ, Saxena PR, Humphrey PP | title = International Union of Pharmacology classification of receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (Serotonin) | journal = Pharmacol.

5-HT<sub>1</sub> is one of seven families that make up the complete subtypes of 5-HT serotonin receptors. It is represented by the number 1, and the five subtypes are represented by letters (e.g., a, b, c, d).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ślifirski |first1=Grzegorz |last2=Król |first2=Marek |last3=Turło |first3=Jadwiga |date=2021-08-20 |title=5-HT Receptors and the Development of New Antidepressants |journal=International Journal of Molecular Sciences |language=en |volume=22 |issue=16 |page=9015 |doi=10.3390/ijms22169015 |doi-access=free |issn=1422-0067 |pmc=8396477 |pmid=34445721}}</ref> Unlike other 5-HT subtype receptors, several 5-HT<sub>1</sub> subtypes play a role in pain relief from migraine headaches.
