The '''Acorn single density 5 1/4" disk''' was used with Acorn computers, a line of computers from the UK in the 1970s through 1990s, which included the popular BBC microcomputer, and eventually led to [[RISC OS]]. It was succeeded by the [[Acorn double density 5 1/4" disk]], the [[Acorn double density 3 1/2" disk]], and the [[Acorn high density 3 1/2" disk]].

The disks had two variants, with 40 and 80 tracks, each with 10 sectors to the track and 256 bytes per sector, for a capacity of 100 and 200 kilobytes respectively. They were single-sided disks. [[FM encoding]] was used.

The [[ADFS]] (Advanced Disc Filing System) was used as the file system, and [[BBC BASIC tokenized file]]s were among the file types stored.
