The 2001–02 season, covering the period from 22 September 2001 to 17 May 2002, was Al-Talaba Sport Club's 27th consecutive season in the Iraqi Elite League, top-flight of Iraqi football. Having finished in 4th place in the previous season, Al-Talaba competed in the Iraqi Elite League, the Iraq FA Cup and the Iraqi Elite Cup.
Throughout their league season, Al-Talaba were consistent in their results having won 29 matches, drawn four and lost five from the total 38 matches and scored 89 goals.[1] It was Al-Talaba's fifth league shield after a consecutive eight years since their last league title in 1992–93. In the Iraq FA Cup, Al-Talaba reached the final after defeating the four teams that they faced to come up against Al-Shorta in the final where they won 1–0 after Qusay Hashim's 85th-minute goal, achieving their first double. In their third competition of the season, the 2001–02 Iraqi Elite Cup which was played in February 2002, Al-Talaba reached the final for the fourth time in their history where they lost to Al-Shorta with Mahir Habib's single goal in the 112nd minute of extra time.[2] They ended their season achieving two titles and as the runners-up of the other one.[3] They were also awarded the Baghdad Day Cup title for their 2–1 league win over Al-Zawra'a which was played on Baghdad Day (14 November).

Notes:
- ^ Al-Zawraa had earned continental qualification by winning the previous season's league title, so with Iraq being given two slots for the AFC Champions League, Al-Zawraa were admitted to the qualifying round and Al-Talaba (who also won the Iraq FA Cup) entered the group stage.
