Presidential elections were held in the Yugoslav province of Serbia on 8 December 2002. They followed elections in September and October which were invalidated due to voter turnout not meeting the 50% requirement. Although the legal requirement of a turnout of at least 50% of registered voters was dropped for the second round of this election, turnout in the first round was below 50%, invalidating the election before a second round.

During the election the Socialist Party of Serbia supported Vojislav Šešelj, the leader of Serbian Radical Party, while New Serbia supported Vojislav Koštunica and the Democratic Party of Serbia.
