The 2002 England rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played in June 2002 in Argentina by the England national rugby union team. The representative side played only two matches in Argentina, winning both of them, the first v the Argentina Second Team (Jaguares) and a test match at José Amalfitani Stadium.

In the test match, a young and inexperienced team beat the Argentina senior 26–18 in front of 40,000 people. The victory was praised by British media, remarking the "stunning second-half" played by England, while Argentina's performance was heavily criticised by local media. At the end of the first half, Argentina led the score 12–3, but they were then overcome by the English side.

The test at Vélez Sársfield was the 12th match between both sides. England achieved their 8th victory against 2 of Argentina.
