The 2002 New York Mets season was the 41st regular season for the Mets. Hoping to improve on their third place finish in the National League East the previous year, a 6–21 August sunk the team into below .500 for good and ultimately they finished 75–86 and finished fifth in the National League East. They were managed by Bobby Valentine in his seventh and ultimately final season. They played home games at Shea Stadium.
