The 2001 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Wallonia on 2 September 2001. It was the 14th round of the 2001 Formula One World Championship. Ferrari driver and World Drivers' Champion Michael Schumacher won the race starting from third. David Coulthard finished in second for McLaren with Benetton's Giancarlo Fisichella third, scoring the final podium of the Benetton team.

Juan Pablo Montoya of the Williams team won the pole position by recording the fastest lap in qualifying; he stalled on the grid and forfeited pole. His teammate Ralf Schumacher lost the lead to Michael Schumacher into Les Combes turn. Michael Schumacher led the next four laps before the race was stopped for an accident involving Jaguar's Eddie Irvine and Luciano Burti of Prost on lap five. The race was declared null and void and recommenced with a revised distance of 36 laps. Michael Schumacher led every lap of the restarted race to take his eighth victory of the season. Schumacher overtook the four-time world champion Alain Prost's all-time career wins total with his 52nd.

Burti was kept in hospital with facial bruising and a concussion until 10 September; his accident helped enhance helmet safety.
