The 2001 Touchtel ATP World Doubles Challenge Cup was a tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It was the 28th edition of the year-end doubles championships and was part of the 2001 ATP Tour. The tournament was held at the KSLTA Tennis Centre in Bangalore in India from 28 January through 3 February 2002.
The tournament had been scheduled to be played between 7 November – 11 November 2001 but was cancelled for security reasons.
