The 1902 United States general election elected the 58th United States Congress, and occurred in the middle of Republican President Theodore Roosevelt's first term. Roosevelt took office after his predecessor, William McKinley, was assassinated in 1901. The election was held during the Fourth Party System. Republicans retained a majority in both chambers of Congress, while the Populist Party and Silver Republican Party disappeared from Congress.

Reapportionment added twenty nine seats to the House. Democrats picked up several seats in the newly enlarged House, while Republicans made lesser gains. Republicans continued to control the chamber with a slightly diminished majority.[1]

In the Senate, Republicans and Democrats each picked up one seat, while the Populist Party lost both its seats. Republicans maintained a commanding majority in the chamber.[2]
