The 2001 Nokia New Zealand Film Awards were held on 10 November 2001 at the St James Theatre in Wellington, New Zealand. To better suit the release schedule of the film industry, the date of the awards ceremony was moved from a mid-year date of previous years to November. The awards were presented by the New Zealand Academy of Film and Television Arts and sponsored by Nokia New Zealand who also sponsored the Nokia New Zealand Film Awards Scholarship, awarded to a film student. The awards presentation featured a tribute to director John O'Shea.
