The 2001 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. The team was coached by Phillip Fulmer. The Vols played their home games in Neyland Stadium and competed in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Vols finished the season 10–2, 7–1 in SEC play, and won the Florida Citrus Bowl 45–17 over Michigan. Tennessee had National Championship aspirations late in the season. A 31–20 loss in the SEC Championship to LSU ended any chance of a National Championship for the Volunteers.
