The 2001 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Broncos competed in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and played their home games at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The Broncos were led by first-year head coach Dan Hawkins.

The Broncos finished the season 8–4 and 6–2 in conference to finish second. 2001 was the Broncos first year in the WAC after leaving the Big West Conference. Despite finishing bowl eligible, the Broncos were not invited to a bowl game.

The September 8 loss to Washington State was Boise State's last regular season loss at home before starting a 65-game regular season home winning streak that extended into the 2011 season (the Broncos did lose a bowl game played at Bronco Stadium in 2005).
