General elections were held in Niue on 21 March 2002 to determine the composition of the twenty member Assembly.

All twenty outgoing members were re-elected, of which eight (all of them village representatives) were running unopposed.[1] Voter turnout was close to 100%. The Niue People's Party obtained six seats, and was able to form a government with the support of eight independent members. The remaining six seats were also held by independents.

Young Vivian (NPP) became Premier.[2] Sani Lakatani was his deputy.[3] Atapana Siakimotu was elected Speaker.[4]
