See main article: Rowing at the 2002 Asian Games.
The women's single sculls competition at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan was held from 30 September to 2 October at the Nakdong River.
This rowing event is a single scull event, meaning that each boat is propelled by a single rower. The "scull" portion means that the rower uses two oars, one on each side of the boat; this contrasts with sweep rowing in which each rower has one oar and rows on only one side (not feasible for singles events).
