The Football League Second Division 1901/02 was the tenth season of the Football League Second Division as the second highest English football league . Second division champions were West Bromwich Albion and also the second-placed Middlesbrough FC rose to the Football League First Division . For the two promoted teams in the following second division season 1902/03, the two first division clubs Small Heath and Manchester City ranked in the table below .

Burton United had emerged from a merger of the Burton Swifts and Burton Wanderers before the start of the season had taken over the sporting successor to the Swifts. No one had to relegate from the Second Division, as the last-placed Chesterfield , Stockport County and Gainsborough Trinity FC received enough votes in the League Association's re-election process to be allowed to participate again in the Second Division in the following 1902/03 season.
