The 2002 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 101st staging of the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kerry County Board in 1889. The draw for the opening round fixtures took place on 9 April 2002. The championship ran from 17 July to 29 September 2002.

Kilmoyley were the defending champions.

The final was played on 29 September 2002 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, between Kilmoyley and Lixnaw, in what was their first meeting in the final in 19 years. Kilmoyley won the match by 1–16 to 2–07 to claim an 18th championship title overall and a second title in succession.

Shane Brick and Mike Conway were the championship's joint-top scorers.

Format change

Having previously operated using a straight knockout format, the championship introduced a "back door system" or second chance for defeated first round teams. All ten participating teams were drawn together in the first round, with the five defeated teams receiving a second chance. Four of these teams progressed to the second round, while one team received a bye to the quarter-finals.
