2001 Australian Formula Ford Championship

The 2001 Australian Formula Ford Championship was an Australian motor racing competition for Formula Ford cars. It was sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport as an Australian title. Promoted as the Ford Racing Australian Formula Ford Championship, it was the 32nd national series for Formula Fords to be held in Australia and the ninth to carry the Australian Formula Ford Championship name.

The season was dominated by both Will Davison and Will Power, with both drivers winning 14 out of the 15 races completed. Nick Agland was the only other driver to win a race; taking victory at Sandown as both Davison and Power retired from proceedings. Their overwhelming success as compared to the rest of the field led to a year-long title fight that would be dubbed The Battle of the Will's. Davison secured pole position in all but one of the events, and in the penultimate round in Queensland, he secured the championship with a round to spare.

This season would see the emergence of future V8 Supercar champion, Jamie Whincup. Entering a privately-run entry, his pace improved considerably throughout the year and his consistency helped secure him third outright in the drivers standings. Long-time rival Mark Winterbottom would also make his debut in racing cars midway through the season with Borland Racing Developments.

The championship was contested over an eight-round series with two races per round.

Championship points were awarded at each race on the following basis:
