The 2002 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament was the 21st annual tournament hosted by the NCAA to determine the national champion of Division II women's collegiate basketball in the United States.
Defending champions Cal Poly Pomona defeated Southeastern Oklahoma State in the championship game, 74–62, to claim the Broncos' fifth overall and second consecutive NCAA Division II national title.
As in 2001, the championship rounds were contested at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, Minnesota.
