The 2002 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 2002. Incumbent Republican governor John G. Rowland won reelection to a third consecutive term, defeating Democrat Bill Curry. Rowland became the first Connecticut governor to win a third term in office, but did not finish his term, resigning in 2004 due to allegations of corruption.
