The 2001–02 season was Colchester United's fourth consecutive season in the third tier of English football.
The 2001–02 season kicked off with an entertaining 6-3 win at Chesterfield. United were top of Division Two by the end of August and knocked First Division Portsmouth out of the League Cup at Fratton Park. They failed to capitalise and despite manager Steve Whitton equalling the record transfer fee of £50,000 for Northern Ireland international Adrian Coote, the U's finished 15th - a steady year on year improvement after recording 18th and then 17th places previously.
