Elections to the Assam Legislative Assembly were held in 2001 to elect members of 114 constituencies in Assam, India.

The Indian National Congress won the popular vote and a majority of seats and Tarun Gogoi was appointed as the Chief Minister of Assam.

[1][2] The number of constituencies was set as 126, by the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission of India.

His brother, Dip Gogoi, the winner from the Titabar constituency, resigned from his seat so that Tarun could win the seat in a by-election.

Dip later fought and won the by-election for the, now vacant, Kaliabor Lok Sabha seat.
