The 2001 WNBA Championship was the championship series of the 2001 WNBA season, and the conclusion of the season's playoffs.

The Los Angeles Sparks, top-seeded champions of the Western Conference, defeated the Charlotte Sting, fourth-seeded champions of the Eastern Conference, two games to none in a best-of-three series.

The Sparks made their first appearance in the Finals in franchise history.

Going into the series, no other team except the Houston Comets had ever won a WNBA championship (1997-2000).

The Sparks had a 28–4 record (.875), good enough to receive home-court advantage over the Sting (18–14).
