The Ferrari F2001 was a highly successful Formula One car that the Ferrari team competed with for the 2001 Formula One season. The chassis was designed by Rory Byrne, Ignazio Lunetta, Aldo Costa, Marco Fainello, Nikolas Tombazis and James Allison with Ross Brawn playing a vital role in leading the production of the car as the team's Technical Director and Paolo Martinelli assisted by Giles Simon leading the engine design and operations. A revised version known as the F2001B was used in the first two races of 2002 before being replaced by the F2002.

Ferrari used 'Marlboro' logos, except at the French, British, Italian (where Ferrari sponsorships were removed due to the victims on September 11th 2001) and United States Grands Prix.
