Jennifer Capriati defeated Martina Hingis in the final, 6–4, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2001 Australian Open. It was her first major singles title. With the win, Capriati returned to the top 10 in the WTA rankings for the first time since 1993.

Lindsay Davenport was the defending champion, but lost to Capritati in the semifinals, in a rematch of the previous year's semifinal.

This marked the first time the Australian Open officially adopted equal prize money for both men and women. It was the second major to do so, following the US Open in 1973, and before the Wimbledon Championships and French Open in 2007.
