Montreal City Council after the 2001 Municipal Elections.
The 2001 Montreal municipal election took place on November 4, 2001, to elect a mayor and city councillors in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Gérald Tremblay defeated incumbent Pierre Bourque to become mayor of the newly amalgamated city. This was the only municipal election that was held for the amalgamated city (the amalgamation took effect on January 1, 2002), as the next municipal election was for the defused city.
All mayoral candidates were also allowed to run for a seat on council, with "alternates" who would assume the council seat if the mayoral candidates were elected to both offices.

Information about the candidates
;Montreal Island Citizens Union
Robert Blondin (Louis-Cyr) appears to have been a first-time candidate. During the 1980s, a person named Robert Blondin chaired the Parti Québécois's riding committee in Saint-Henri and criticized René Lévesque's decision to de-emphasize the party's focus on Quebec sovereignty. This may have been the same person.
Gilles Marette (Louis-Riel) was a first time candidate.
Nancy Boileau (Maisonneuve) is a community activist. In 2000, she sought to initiate a class-action lawsuit on behalf of commuters who had waited in cold weather for city buses that never arrived or were too full to pick up more passengers. In the 2001 campaign, she campaigned against gentrification and for more affordable housing.
;Vision Montreal
Lino Colapelle (Saint-Léonard-Est borough council) was a first-time candidate.
;White Elephant Party
Charles Paradis (Jean-Rivard), Daniel Paré (Louis-Cyr) and Denis Fournier (Saint-Léonard) were first-time candidates.
;Independents
Steve Gentile (Port-Maurice) was a first-time candidate. There is a noted designer in Saint-Leonard named Steve Gentile, though it is not known if this is the same person.

The ''[[Montreal Gazette]]'' reported in 2004 that a Denis Fournier of Saint-Leonard had drowned while fishing. This may have been the same person. See "Fisherman's body found along river," ''Montreal Gazette'', July 21, 2004, A7.
