The UK Singles Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2002, as well as songs which peaked in 2001 and 2003 but were in the top 10 in 2002. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time.

Two-hundred and seventeen singles were in the top ten in 2002. Ten singles from 2001 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Sk8er Boi by "Avril Lavigne first charted in 2002 but reached its peak in 2003. Forty-four artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2002.

The 2001 Christmas number-one, "Somethin' Stupid" by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman remained at number-one for the first two weeks of 2002. Daniel Bedingfield's "Gotta Get thru This" returned to number-one in January after previously occupying the top spot for two weeks in December 2001. The first new number-one single of the year was "More Than a Woman" by the late Aaliyah, who was killed in a plane crash in August 2001. Overall, thirty-two different songs peaked at number-one in 2002, with Gareth Gates and Will Young (both 3) having the most songs hit that position.
