The 2001–02 Washington Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Washington for the 2001–02 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Led by ninth-year head coach Bob Bender, the Huskies were members of the Pacific-10 Conference and played their home games on campus at Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle, Washington.

The Huskies were 11–16 overall in the regular season and 5–13 in conference play, eighth in the standings.[3] Last played in 1990, the conference tournament resumed this season, with eight teams qualifying. Washington drew top seed Oregon in the opening quarterfinal;[4] the teams had split the season series with home wins.[5][6] At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Huskies led by seven points at the half, but the Ducks dominated the second half and won by 22 points.[7][8]

Twelve days later, Bender was relieved of his duties by athletic director Barbara Hedges.[9][10][11] He was succeeded in early April by alumnus Lorenzo Romar,[12][13] the head coach at Saint Louis, who led the Husky program for fifteen seasons.
