The 1901 Purdue Boilermakers football team was an American football team that represented Purdue University during the 1901 Western Conference football season. The Boilermakers compiled a 4–4–1 record and outscored their opponents by a total of 138 to 66 in their fourth, non-consecutive season under head coach D. M. Balliet. John F. G. Miller was the team captain.
While Purdue credits Balliet as head coach for 1901, some (but not all) news articles reported that Alpha Jamison was head coach that season, with Balliet assisting. The Purdue Debris yearbook listed both Jamison and Balliet simply as "coaches".
