Modèle:Year nav Modèle:C21YearInTopic Year 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday (link displays the 2001 Gregorian calendar).

By traditional interpretation of the Gregorian Calendar, 2001 is also the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium. Popular culture, however, mistakenly views the year 2000 as holding this distinction.
