The Cihanbeyli by-election of 2002 was a by-election held in the district of Cihanbeyli, Konya Province in order to elect a new mayor.

The newly formed Justice and Development Party (AKP), which went on to win the general elections held the same year, came a close second while the centre-left Republican People's Party (CHP) came third. 178 ballot boxes were used in the election for 37,066 registered voters.[1]
