The 2001 Albuquerque mayoral election took place on October 2, 2001. Incumbent Mayor Jim Baca ran for re-election to a second term. He faced a crowded field of competitors, including former Mayor Martin Chávez, the Democratic nominee for Governor in 1998; former District Attorney Bob Schwartz; City Councilors Mike McEntee and Alan Armijo; and former State Treasurer James B. Lewis.

Chávez ultimately won the election by a narrow margin, receiving 31 percent of the vote to Schwartz's 28 percent, while Baca came in third with 11 percent.
