Miss Teen USA 2001, the 19thMiss Teen USA pageant, was televised live from South Padre Convention Island Center,South Padre Island, Texas on 22 August 2001. At the conclusion of the final competition,Marissa Whitley ofMissouri was crowned by outgoing queenJillian Parry ofPennsylvania.

After hosting the pageant for three consecutive years from 1998 to 2000, officials inShreveport, Louisiana indicated that they were reluctant to host the pageant for a fourth year because disorganization by the Miss Universe Organization meant that the city lost over $70,000 in expected revenue.^[1]
