The 1902 World Allround Speed Skating Championships took place between 22 and 23 February 1902 at the Pohjoissatama ice rink in Helsinki, Finland.
Franz Wathén was the defending champion. No one won at least three distances and so no World champion was declared.

Rules Four distances have to be skated: 500m 1500m 5000m 10000m
One could only win the World Championships by winning at least three of the four distances, so there would be no World Champion if no skater won at least three distances.
Silver and bronze medals were not awarded.
