The 2002 U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship was the 57th U.S. Women's Open, held July 4–7 in Kansas at Prairie Dunes Country Club, northeast of Hutchinson, about forty miles (65 km) northwest of Wichita.

Juli Inkster won her second U.S. Women's Open, two strokes ahead of runner-up Annika Sörenstam, the 54-hole leader.[2] Inkster, 42, shot a final round 66 (−4) to gain her seventh and final major title. She joined Babe Zaharias as the only women to win two majors after age 40.[3]

This was the first purse of $3 million at the U.S. Women's Open, it had tripled in the seven years since 1995, the first seven-figure purse.
