2001–02 Charlton Athletic F.C. season

During the 2001–02 English football season, Charlton Athletic competed in the FA Premier League. The club also competed in the FA Cup, and the League Cup.

Season summary Despite being without several key players for long periods of time due to injury, Charlton did well in their 11th season under the management of Alan Curbishley. They were in with a real chance of UEFA Cup qualification as late as March, but a failure to win any of their final eight league games dragged them down to 14th.

Dependable centre back Richard Rufus now began to suffer a series of injury setbacks, missing half of the season.

Kit Charlton's kit was manufactured by Le Coq Sportif and sponsored by Redbus.
