KTFF 1. Lig (English: CTFA First League), officially AKSA 1. Lig for sponsorship reasons, formerly known as İkinci Lig (literally Second League) is the second-highest division of association football in Northern Cyprus. It is administered by the Cyprus Turkish Football Federation and has 16 clubs.

At the end of the season, the top two clubs are promoted to the KTFF Süper Lig, and the next top four clubs play play-off matches to determine the third team to be promoted. The bottom two teams are relegated to the BTM 1. Lig, and the next four clubs from the bottom determine through play-out matches the third team to be relegated.
