The FA Cup 1901–02 was the thirty-first staging of the world's oldest association football competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (more usually known as the FA Cup). Sheffield United won the competition for the second time, beating Southampton 2–1 in the replay of the final at Crystal Palace. The first match had finished 1–1.

Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held at neutral venues until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period of extra time would be played.

The format of the FA Cup for the season had a preliminary round, five qualifying rounds, an intermediate round, three proper rounds, and the semi finals and final.

Intermediate Round

For the qualifying rounds, see 1901–02 FA Cup Qualifying Rounds.

The Intermediate Round featured ten ties, played between the ten winners of the Fifth Qualifying Round, and ten teams exempt to this stage. First Division Small Heath, along with Chesterfield, Newton Heath, Woolwich Arsenal, Burnley and Leicester Fosse from the Second Division were entered automatically into this round, as were non-league Reading, New Brighton Tower, Portsmouth and Millwall Athletic.

The other Second Division sides had to gain entry to this round through the earlier qualifying rounds. Barnsley, Blackpool, Bristol City, Burton United, Burslem Port Vale, Doncaster Rovers, Gainsborough Trinity, Glossop, Lincoln City and Stockport County, were all entered in the Third Qualifying Round. Of these, only Glossop and Lincoln City reached the Intermediate Round. They were joined by eight other non-league sides.

New Brighton Tower had disbanded during the summer of 1901, so Oxford City were granted a walkover.

The ten matches were played on 14 December 1901. Two matches went to replays, played in the following midweek.
