The Tokyo Metro 01 series (東京地下鉄01系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 01-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway in Tokyo, Japan, since 1983. A total of 38 six-car trainsets were introduced from 1983. It was the recipient of the 25th Laurel Prize of the Japan Railfan Club in 1985. A total of 228 cars were built from 1983 to 1997 in five batches.

These trains use a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to automatically stop at stations.

The 02 series used on the Marunouchi Line is based on the 01 series.
