# Volleyball at the 2002 Asian Games – Men

The men's volleyball tournament at the 2002 Asian Games was held from Tuesday October 2 to Saturday October 13, 2002 in Busan, South Korea. The men's volleyball event was contested for the 12th time at the Asian Games.
China and Japan's best players had to miss the event due to the schedule conflicting with the 2002 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship in Argentina, but South Korea withdrew from the world championship to participate in Asian Games.
