VM i snooker 2001, Embassy World Snooker Championship, spelades i The Crucible Theatre i Sheffield, England, den 21 april–7 maj 2001. Ronnie O'Sullivan vann sin första VM-titel efter att ha slagit John Higgins i en mycket välspelad VM-final.
Händelser under turneringen
- Ronnie O'Sullivan blev den förste engelsmannen på tio år (John Parrott vann 1991) att vinna VM. Däremellan hade två skottar, en irländare och en walesare lagt beslag på alla VM-titlar.
- O'Sullivans första VM-titel (och även första VM-final) kom förhållandevis sent i karriären med tanke på hans stora talang, han hade tillhört världseliten i åtta år sedan han vann UK Championship 1993. Under 2000-talets första decennium skulle han komma att vinna ytterligare två VM-titlar.
- Fjolårssegraren Mark Williams råkade ut för The Crucible Curse och föll mot Joe Swail i andra omgången.
- Nordirländaren Patrick Wallace gick till kvartsfinal i sin VM-debut. Därefter har han aldrig kvalificerat sig för VM.
- Veteranerna Steve Davis och Jimmy White misslyckades båda att kvalificera sig för VM, för första gången i deras respektive karriärer. Davis hade deltagit i alla VM-turneringar sedan 1979 och White sedan 1981.
- Det gjordes 53 centuries i detta VM.
