The 1902 East Florida Seminary football team represented the East Florida Seminary in Gainesville, Florida in the sport of American football during the 1902 college football season. This was not the modern Florida Gators of the University of Florida, which begins in 1906, but one of its four predecessor institutions.

The school had been established in 1853 and moved to Gainesville in 1866, but 1902 was the first time that it organized a football team to compete against other schools. The season consisted of a two game series with Stetson College, which had fielded one of the first intercollegiate football teams in Florida the previous year.
