Member State of the Arab League Parliamentary elections were held in Mauritania on 19 and 26 October 2001.

The result was a landslide victory for President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya's Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal, which took 64 of the 81 seats.

Previous elections since the reintroduction of multi-party politics in the early 1990s has seen opposition boycotts due to accusations of the incumbent government rigging the results.

However, a new computerised ID system was introduced before the 2001 elections, resulting in opposition parties contesting the elections.
