The 2001–02 Toronto Raptors season was the Raptors' 7th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). During the offseason, the Raptors acquired 2-time NBA Champion Hakeem Olajuwon from the Houston Rockets. Throughout the season, All-Star Vince Carter struggled with injuries and only managed to play 60 games. Despite injuries, Carter was still voted to play in the All-Star game for the third consecutive year, but he did not play in the All-Star Game due to injury.

Despite losing their team captain for the rest of season and the playoffs, the Raptors still managed finish with 42–40 record, good enough for third place in the Central Division, which allowed them to clinch a playoff spot behind the efforts of their other team captain Antonio Davis. Toronto's season ended in the first round with a heartbreaking defeat to the Detroit Pistons in five hard fought games. Following the season, Chris Childs re-signed as a free agent with the New Jersey Nets, Keon Clark signed with the Sacramento Kings, Tracy Murray was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Olajuwon and Dell Curry both retired.
