1981 College Baseball All-America Team

1981 All-Americans included Bobby Meacham.

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1981 NCAA Division I baseball season. From 1981 to 1990, there were three generally recognized All-America selectors for baseball: the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America, and The Sporting News. In order to be considered a "consensus" All-American, a player must have been selected by at least two of these.
