The 1901 Alabama Crimson White football team (variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama") represented the University of Alabama in the 1901 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. The team was led by head coach M. S. Harvey, in his first season, and played their home games at The Quad in Tuscaloosa and one game each at Highland Park in Montgomery and at West End Park in Birmingham, Alabama. In what was the ninth season of Alabama football, the team finished with a record of two wins, one loss and two ties (2–1–2, 2–1–2 SIAA).

To open the season, Alabama was originally scheduled to play the University of Nashville at Birmingham on October 19. Nashville subsequently canceled the game just prior to its scheduled kickoff.

Alabama opened the 1901 season with a 41–0 victory over the University of Mississippi in Tuscaloosa. Alabama scored touchdowns in the first half on a short A. M. Donahoo run, a 60-yard W. A. Weaver run, a short Frank Houston Powe run, a short A. W. Stewart run and on a 90-yard Donahoo kickoff return. In the second half, Alabama scored touchdowns on a 33-yard Weaver and a 20-yard Powe runs for the 41–0 win. The victory brought Alabama's all-time record against Mississippi to 3–1.

In the second all-time meeting against the University of Georgia, the game ended in a scoreless tie at Montgomery's Highland Park. In a game dominated by punts, the only score of the game was made by Earl Drennen only to be called back on a subsequent penalty. The tie brought Alabama's all-time record against Georgia to 0–1–1.
