The 1901 Milwaukee Brewers were an American professional baseball team. This was the final season of the Milwaukee Brewers team that operated from 1894 to 1901, one of multiple teams in Milwaukee's professional baseball history to use the Brewers nickname, and the only season the team competed at the major-league level.
The Brewers finished eighth in the inaugural season of the American League with a record of 48 wins and 89 losses, games behind the Chicago White Stockings. After the season, the major-league franchise relocated and became the St. Louis Browns, where they remained through the 1953 season, after which the franchise again relocated and became the Baltimore Orioles. A franchise in the minor-league American Association played in Milwaukee from 1902 through 1952 using the Milwaukee Brewers name.
