The 1961-62 Football League Cup was the second season of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs. The competition began on 11 September 1961, and ended with the two-legged final on 26 April and 1 May 1962. The tournament was won by Norwich City, who beat Rochdale 4-0 on aggregate over two legs. Norwich won the first leg 3-0 away at Spotland, thanks to goals from Derrick Lythgoe (2) and Punton. In the second leg at Carrow Road, Jimmy Hill scored to give Norwich a 1-0 win on the night and a 4-0 aggregate victory.
