The 1901–02 Welsh Amateur Cup was the twelfth season of the Welsh Amateur Cup. Wrexham Victoria defeated Machynlleth Town 1–0 in the final, at Oswestry.
Wrexham Victoria were awarded the cup, which Machynlleth protested, saying that Wrexham Victoria had used five players who were ineligible due to having played in the Chester & District League. Their protest was successful and Wrexham Victoria were ordered to return the cup to the Football Association of Wales."Welsh Football Association" - Wellington Journal, Saturday 24 May 1902 (page 9) It is unclear if the cup was ever awarded to Machynlleth. Wrexham Victoria are recorded as the cup winners by recent sources such as the RSSSF.
