The 2001 World Short Track Speed Skating Team Championships is the 11th edition of the World Short Track Speed Skating Team Championships, which took place on 24-25 March 2001 in Nobeyama, Japan.

New competition format was used. Teams were divided into two brackets of four: the best team from each bracket qualified directly for the final, while the two next teams entered for the repechage round and the last was eliminated. The best two teams in the repechage round qualified for the final. Thus, the final consisted of four teams. Each team was represented by four athletes at both 500 m and 1000 m as well as by two athletes at 3000 m. There were four heats at both 500 m and 1000 m, whereby each heat consisted of athletes representing different countries. There was one heat at 3000 m.
