The 2002 AFL Draft consisted of a pre-season draft, a national draft, a trade period and the elevation of rookies. The AFL Draft is the annual draft of talented players by Australian rules football teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the Australian Football League.
In 2002 there were 88 picks to be drafted between 16 teams in the national draft.
The Carlton Football Club was stripped of its first and priority-round draft picks after gross breaches of the salary cap were uncovered (it would have been stripped of its second round pick also, but had already traded it for Barnaby French). The first pick therefore went to the St. Kilda Football Club, who finished second last during the 2002 AFL season.
