2001 IAAF Grand Prix Final

The 2001 IAAF Grand Prix Final was the seventeenth edition of the season-ending competition for the IAAF Grand Prix track and field circuit, organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations. It was held on 9 September at the Olympic Park Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. It was the first and only time the event was held in the southern hemisphere (international track and field seasons typically revolve around a northern hemisphere schedule).

André Bucher (800 metres) and Violeta Szekely (1500 metres) were the overall points winners of the tournament. A total of 19 athletics events were contested, nine for men and ten for women. This was the first time women's events outnumbered men's on the programme of the IAAF Grand Prix Final.
