2002 Australian Formula Ford Championship

The 2002 Australian Formula Ford Championship was a CAMS sanctioned Australian motor racing title open to Formula Ford racing cars. It was the tenth Australian Formula Ford Championship.

Heading into the season, Jamie Whincup was touted as a championship favourite. Heavily favoured to carry his form shown in his debut year the previous season. He, along with teammate Marcus Marshall at Sonic Motor Racing Services (running under the Garry Rogers Motorsport banner), were the pacesetters throughout the season. However, rookie Mark Winterbottom would prove to be a serious challenger for the championship, driving with Borland Racing Developments, and would herald the first of many battles between him and Whincup in the years to come.

Whincup would ultimately emerge victorious at seasons end with Winterbottom finishing second overall and Marshall in third.
