The 2002 Insurrextion was the third annual Insurrextion professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the American promotion, World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division, which made it the promotion's first-ever Raw-exclusive PPV. The event took place on 4 May 2002, at the Wembley Arena in London, England and was broadcast exclusively in the United Kingdom.

This event was the last live televised event to run under the WWF name. Due to a lawsuit by the World Wildlife Fund over the "WWF" initialism, the promotion quietly changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) over the next two days. The company officially began to use the WWE name beginning with the 6 May 2002, episode of Raw.^[2] This was also the company's last PPV to be held in London until Money in the Bank in 2023.

In addition, a series of notorious incidents occurred on the return flight to the United States, which has been referred to as the "plane ride from hell". Wrestlers Scott Hall and Curt Hennig were fired following the event for their involvement in the incidents, while Goldust and Ric Flair were also reprimanded by the company for their involvement in other incidents during the flight.
