During the 2000–01 English football season, Newcastle United F.C. competed in the FA Premier League. This article covers the squad and match results for that season.

Bobby Robson's first full season as Newcastle manager saw them finish 11th once again - more than high enough to avoid relegation, but not quite high enough to get into Europe.
