A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Ogmore was held on 14 February 2002, triggered by the death of incumbent Labour Party MP Sir Raymond Powell on 7 December 2001. It was won by Huw Irranca-Davies, who held the seat for Labour.
Labour faced no realistic challenge in this very safe seat and retained it easily, with only Plaid Cymru making progress from their 2001 result. The Socialist Labour Party, who had not previously stood, achieved a good result for a minor party and retained their deposit.
