Winner
  
Tony Blair

These are the results of the United Kingdom general election, 2001 for the country of Northern Ireland. The election was held on 7 June 2001 and all 18 seats in Northern Ireland were contested. The election resulted in a reduction in the share of vote and the number of seats won by the Ulster Unionist Party, though the UUP did remain the largest political party in Northern Ireland, and even managed to regain the seat of South Antrim after it was lost in a by-election in 2000 to the Democratic Unionist Party. The Social Democratic and Labour Party also suffered from a reduction in their share of the vote – ending in fourth place from second place at the last general election – though the SDLP did not lose any seats. Both the DUP and Sinn Féin increased their share of the vote as well as their number of seats.
