The 2001 Macau Grand Prix (officially the 48th Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) motor race held on the streets of Macau on 18 November 2001. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2001 Macau Grand Prix was not part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race was split into two 15-lap aggregate legs held in the morning and afternoon, with the overall winner being the driver who completed all 30 laps in the quickest time. The 2001 edition was the 48th Macau Grand Prix and the 19th for F3 cars.

Takuma Sato of Carlin Motorsport won the Grand Prix after starting second on the first leg. Sato overtook pole position starter Björn Wirdheim of Prema Powerteam at the start of the first leg and pulled away to win to start the second leg from first. He led every lap of the second leg to win the race outright on his second appearance, becoming the first Japanese driver to do so. Benoît Tréluyer of Mugen x Dome Project took second place and Wirdheim finished third overall.
