The Wyoming gubernatorial election of 2002 was held on November 5, 2002. Incumbent Republican Governor of Wyoming Jim Geringer was barred from seeking a third term in office, thereby creating an open seat. Former United States Attorney Dave Freudenthal and former Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives Eli Bebout both emerged from competitive Democratic and Republican primaries, respectively, and faced off against each other in the general election. Despite Wyoming's strong inclination to elect Republicans, a contentious race ensued, with Freudenthal ultimately edging out Bebout by fewer than 4,000 votes.
