The 2002 Sioux Falls mayoral election took place on April 23, 2002, following a primary election on April 9, 2002. Incumbent Mayor Gary W. Hanson was term-limited and could not seek a third consecutive term. Seven candidates ran to succeed Nelson, and because no candidate won a majority in the first round, a runoff election was held. State Representative Dick Brown placed first in the primary with 35 percent of the vote, and he was opposed by State Senator Dave Munson, who won 28 percent, in the general election. Munson ended up defeating Brown by a wide margin, winning 57–43 percent.
