The 2000–01 Druga HNL was the 10th season of Druga HNL, the second level league in Croatian football. The format of the league was unchanged from the 1999–2000 season. A total of 18 clubs competed in Druga HNL this season, in a double round-robin format.

Due to the expansion of top level Prva HNL set for the 2001–02 season, four clubs were promoted at the end of season (Kamen Ingrad, Pomorac Kostrena, Zadar and TŠK Topolovac, while Solin entered promotion playoff). Also, Druga HNL was split into two divisions the following season.

Notes:

^ Due to the expansion of Prva HNL to 16 clubs in the 2001–02 season, top four clubs from the 2000–01 Druga HNL were to be automatically promoted. However, third-placed Croatia Sesvete and sixth-placed Belišće had decided to step back from promotion.
Therefore, 7th placed team of Druga HNL, Solin played a two-legged relegation play-off against the 12th placed team of Prva HNL, Marsonia.
