Norway participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 with the song "On My Own" written by Ole Henrik Antonsen, Tom-Steinar Hanssen and Ole Jørgen Olsen. The song was performed by Haldor Lægreid. The Norwegian broadcaster Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 2001 in order to select the Norwegian entry for the 2001 contest in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The top four entries in the first round of voting advanced to the competition's second round—the superfinal. In the second round of voting, "On My Own" performed by Haldor Lægreid was selected as the winner.
