The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season was an average Atlantic hurricane season, officially starting on June 1, 2002 and ending on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period of each year when tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean tend to form.

The season began on July 14, over a month past the official start, but tied with the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season with a record eight storms forming in the month of September.
