 
The 1902 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1902, and featured Republican nominee Edmund G. McGilton defeating Edward A. Gilbert, the Populist and Democratic fusion nominee, as well as Prohibition nominee Isaiah Lightner and Socialist nominee Andrew D. Peugh.
On May 1, 1901, after serving only four months as Governor of Nebraska, Charles H. Dietrich resigned from being governor as he had been elected by the Nebraska Legislature to fill the vacant U.S. Senate term of Monroe L. Hayward, who had died. Thus, Ezra P. Savage, the lieutenant governor elected in 1900, became the Governor of Nebraska.
After the elevation of Savage to Governor, Calvin F. Steele was considered the Acting Lieutenant Governor due to his position as president "pro tempore" of the Nebraska Senate based on Article V, Section 18, of the Nebraska Constitution. Thus, in the "1915 Nebraska Blue Book" and the "1918 Nebraska Blue Book", Steele is listed as having served as lieutenant governor, even replacing any mention of Savage's brief stint as lieutenant governor. Neither Savage nor Steele sought the office of lieutenant governor in 1902.
