The 1961–62 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' 38th season in the NHL.
Earning 38 of a possible 140 points in the standings, the team's 0.271 points percentage was the worst in their history excluding their inaugural season in 1924–25, in which they captured 12 out of a possible 60 points (0.200).
The team also endured a 20-game winless streak (16 losses and 4 ties) which included the entire month of February.
