Original Umbro football shirt Nottingham Forest 2001/02

During the 2001–02 English football season, Nottingham Forest competed in the Football League First Division.

The appointment of Paul Hart as manager failed to revitalise Forest and they dropped down to 16th in the final table, down from the previous season's 11th-place finish. Forest also had to contend with the departures of several key players, including highly rated young midfielder Jermaine Jenas to Newcastle United.
