The 2001–02 Florida Panthers season was their ninth season in the National Hockey League. The Panthers failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

Offseason

Prior to the beginning of the regular season it was announced that Pavel Bure and Paul Laus would alternate the captaincy every five games. This was discontinued when Mike Keenan was named the team’s new head coach in early December.

Regular season

On December 3, it was announced that Mike Keenan would replace Duane Sutter as head coach and Bill Torrey would step down as general manager. Assistant general manager Chuck Fletcher was named interim general manager.
