The 2001–02 Taça de Portugal was the 62nd edition of the Portuguese football knockout tournament, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). The 2001–02 Taça de Portugal began on 2 September 2001. The final was played on 12 May 2002 at the Estádio Nacional.
Porto were the previous holders, having defeated Marítimo 2–0 in the previous season's final. Defending champions Porto were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Braga. Sporting CP defeated Leixões, 1–0 in the final to win their thirteenth Taça de Portugal. As a result of Sporting CP winning both the league and cup in the same season, cup finalists Leixões would play the Leões in the 2002 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
First round For the first round draw, teams were drawn against each other in accordance to their geographical location. The draw was split up into four sections: teams from the north, the center, the south and the Azores region. All first round cup ties were played on the 2 September. Ties which ended in a draw were replayed on the 12 September. Due to the odd number of teams at this stage of the competition, Guadalupe progressed to the next round due to having no opponent to face at this stage of the competition. The first round of the cup saw teams from the Terceira Divisão (IV) start the competition alongside some teams who registered to participate in the cup from the Portuguese District Leagues (V).
