The 2001 Los Angeles Galaxy season was the club's sixth season of existence, and their sixth consecutive in Major League Soccer, the top division of the American soccer pyramid.
They finished first in the Western Division but lost to the San Jose Earthquakes in the final. The Galaxy won their first U.S. Open Cup title by defeating the New England Revolution in the final 2–1 after extra time. They were scheduled to compete in the FIFA Club World Championship but the tournament was ultimately cancelled.

As winners of the 2000 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, Los Angeles Galaxy was one of the 12 teams that were invited to the 2001 FIFA Club World Championship, which would be hosted in Spain from July 28 to August 12, 2001. However, the tournament was cancelled, primarily due to the collapse of ISL, which was marketing partner of FIFA at the time.
