The 2001–02 season was Bristol City Football Club's 104th season in English football, and their third consecutive season in the Second Division. It was Danny Wilson's second year in charge of the club since his arrival in July 2000. The club started the season fairly brightly, but an after Christmas slump meant the club slipped from the play-offs into 7th position.

The club's leading goalscorer was Tony Thorpe, with 17 goals in all competitions.
