During the 2000–01 English football season, Wimbledon F.C. competed in the Football League First Division, following relegation from the FA Premier League the previous season.

Following the departures of key frontmen John Hartson and Carl Cort, Wimbledon were unable to make an immediate return to the top flight and finished in 8th, five points short of the playoffs; were it not for their mediocre home form (with 11 draws and only 7 wins all season) they could have aimed for a playoff spot or even an attempt for automatic promotion. Despite this disappointing season, Wimbledon did enjoy some highlights, including a 5-0 demolition of London rivals Queens Park Rangers at home and a 5-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Wimbledon's struggle to return to the top flight was only made harder with the sale of the club's top scorer, Jason Euell, to South London rivals Charlton Athletic at the end of the season.

German company Puma became Wimbledon's kit manufacturers. Tiny Computers remained the kit sponsor.
