La '''stagione {{NFLS|2002}} dei [[Denver Broncos]]''' è stata la 33ª della franchigia nella [[National Football League]], la 43ª complessiva e la 9ª con [[Mike Shanahan]] come capo-allenatore.<ref>{{cita news|lingua= en |url= http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den/2002.htm |titolo= 2002 Denver Broncos |editore= Pro Football Reference |data= | accesso= 4 marzo 2018 }}</ref> 

Con il ritiro di [[Terrell Davis]] in pre-stagione, Denver dovette affidarsi al [[rookie]] [[Clinton Portis]], che portò nuova linfa al gioco sulle corse. Malgrado la sua presenza, tuttavia, i Broncos terminarono con un record di 9-7, mancando di poco l'accesso ai playoff.
