The Juno Awards of 2002 were presented in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada during the weekend of 13–14 April 2002.
Nominations were announced on 11 February 2002 at a news conference hosted by Mike Bullard. Awards for secondary categories were presented at a non-televised gala on 13 April.
The primary ceremony took place on 14 April at Mile One Stadium and was televised by CTV, marking the first time the private broadcaster carried the event. CBC Television had previously held the broadcast rights for the primary Juno ceremonies. The telecast was hosted by members of Barenaked Ladies and attracted the highest ratings in several years (approximately 1.4 million viewers).
Singer/pianist Diana Krall won awards in three categories based on her album The Look of Love. Nickelback also won three Junos on the strength of their album Silver Side Up, whose recording engineer won an additional Juno. Daniel Lanois was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
