+
+The **`autofocus`** global SVG attribute defines a focusable element to be focused after it's connected to a document. The attribute has no effect if the element is not already focusable.
+
+The `autofocus` attribute has an HTML counterpart: [`autofocus`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/autofocus). No more than one element in the document may have the `autofocus` attribute. If applied to multiple elements, the first one will receive focus.
+
+## Usage notes
+
+<table class="properties">
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <th scope="row">Value</th>
+      <td>
+        <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/Boolean/HTML">boolean attribute</a></code>
+      </td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <th scope="row">Default value</th>
+      <td>(none)</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <th scope="row">Animatable</th>
+      <td>No</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+For a description of the values, please refer to the [HTML `autofocus`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/autofocus) attribute.
+
+## Accessibility concerns
+
+Automatically focusing an SVG can confuse visually-impaired people using screen-reading technology and people with cognitive impairments. When autofocus is assigned, screen-readers "teleport" their user to the focusable element without warning them beforehand.
+
+Use careful consideration for accessibility when applying the `autofocus` attribute. Automatically focusing on an element can cause the page to scroll on load. The focus can also cause dynamic keyboards to display on some touch devices. While a screen reader will announce the {{glossary("accessible name")}} of the element receiving focus, the screen reader will not announce anything before the element that may provide more context, and the sighted user on a small device will equally miss the context created by the preceding content.
