The 2001 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 75th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was Moynalvey's first year in this grade since 1983, after 17 years in the Senior grade since being relegated in 2000. It was also Blackhall Gaels first year back in the middle grade since 1998 and on 4 November 2001, they claimed their 2nd Intermediate championship title when they defeated Ballivor 1-10 to 0-12, and in doing so made an immediate return to the Senior ranks since being relegated in 2000.

St. Ultan's were promoted after claiming the 2000 Meath Junior Football Championship title, making an immediate return to the grade since being relegated in 1999. This was their second period as an Intermediate club since being formed in 1991.

Moynalty were relegated after 14 years as an Intermediate club. St. Paul's were also relegated after just two years as an Intermediate outfit.
