2001 Suffolk County Council election
Elections for Suffolk County Council as part of the 2001 United Kingdom local elections were held on 7 June. 80 councillors were elected from various electoral divisions, which returned one county councillor each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. The electoral divisions were the same as those used at the previous election in 1997. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.
As with other county elections in England, these local elections in Suffolk took place on the same day as the 2001 United Kingdom general election.

The incumbent Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition continued in government with Labour group leader Chris Mole remaining as council leader until he won a parliamentary by-election in November 2001.
