The 1900–01 Football League season was Aston Villa's 13th season in the Football League First Division, the top flight of English football at the time. The season fell in what was to be called Villa's golden era.^[1] During the season Jimmy Crabtree, Jack Devey, and Howard Spencer shared the captaincy of the club.^[2] Billy Garraty, great-great-grandfather of Jack Grealish, made the most appearances during the season.^[3]^[4] Goalkeeper & first-class cricketer, Billy George was next with 39 appearances.

Second Division Small Heath F.C. took part in the 1900–01 FA Cup, entering at the first round proper and losing in the third round to Aston Villa after a replay, Villa's Billy Garraty being the sole scorer over the two fixtures. Small Heath also lost to Villa in the semi-final of the Lord Mayor of Birmingham's Charity Cup.^[5]

On 1 December 1900, Villa recorded the biggest home win in the League that season, 7–1 against Manchester City in front of a crowd of 12,000. When Aston Villa played away at Stoke on 29 December 1900, the home club registered its biggest home attendance of the season.

There were debuts for Arthur Millar, Joe Pearson, Albert Brown, Joe Bache, Frank Lloyd, Alf Wood, Jimmy Murray, Tom Gilson, Jack Whitley, Tommy Wilson and Willie McAulay (4).^[6]
