The 2001 North Texas Mean Green football team represented the University of North Texas in the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Mean Green played their home games at the Fouts Field in Denton, Texas, and competed in the newly formed Sun Belt Conference. They were led by fourth-year head coach Darrell Dickey. The team finished their regular season 5–6 overall; in Sun Belt play they were 5–1, tied for first place with Middle Tennessee.
North Texas was invited to the New Orleans Bowl, the program's first bowl appearance since the 1959 Sun Bowl, with a losing record of 5–6, which would usually not be considered bowl-eligible; they were able to play in a bowl game by being co-champions of their conference.[1] Previously, the most recent bowl appearance by a team with a losing record had been William & Mary in the 1970 Tangerine Bowl.[1] The Mean Green lost the New Orleans Bowl to Colorado State, finishing the season with an overall mark of 5–7.
