The 2001–02 Asian Cup Winners' Cup was the twelfth and final season of the competition, as the AFC merged the Asian Club Championship, Asian Cup Winners' Cup and Asian Super Cup to form the AFC Champions League.

Al Hilal won their record-equaling second Asian Cup Winners' Cup title, beating Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors over two legs in the final. As winners, Al Hilal earned the right to play against 2001–02 Asian Club Championship winners Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the 2002 Asian Super Cup.

Al-Shabab were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Al Sadd in the second round.
