The 2001 Women's British Open was held 2–5 August in England at Sunningdale Golf Club, southwest of London in Sunningdale, Berkshire. It was the 25th edition of the Women's British Open, and the first as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. It replaced the du Maurier Classic in Canada as the fourth and final major of the season.

On Sunningdale's Old Course, Se-ri Pak won the third of her five major titles, two strokes ahead of runner-up Mi -Hyun Kim.[2] Four strokes behind leader Catriona Matthew after 54 holes and tied for ninth,[3] Pak eagled the first hole on Sunday and shot a final round 66 (−6) for 277 (−11).[2][4]
