These are the details of the 2000–01 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season, who competed in the Football League Second Division.

Season summary Hopes were high for the Latics at the start of the 2000–01 season after a 4–1 opening day win at home to newly relegated Port Vale, but a run of 11 games without a win saw the club slump to second bottom in the league, making relegation look a real possibility. The signings of veteran winger David Eyres and midfielder Tony Carss gave the side added impetus and the Latics recovered well to again finish comfortably mid-table.
