0202 is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock group the Rubens, released on 12 February 2021 by Ivy League Records.
The album was announced on 15 October 2020, alongside the release of the video for the album's third single, "Time of My Life". After releasing "Live in Life" in November 2019, the group were looking towards a release date of mid-2020 for the album, however, due to COVID-19 restrictions, progress and the postponed Live in Life Tour from March 2020, the album was delayed.
The title 0202 refers to a "forward-thinking album for a backward year". In a press statement, the band said "We're so bloody proud of this album and the way we created it, and we can't believe how lucky we are to have made it this far."
The album was supported by an Australian tour commencing in April 2021.
At the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, Konstantin Kersting was nominated for Producer of the Year and Engineer of the Year for work on this album. Eric J Dubowsky was also nominated for Engineer of the Year for work on this album.
At the AIR Awards of 2022, the album was nominated for Best Independent Pop Album or EP.
