A special election was held in Georgia's at-large congressional district on December 15, 1802, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of John Milledge (DR), who had been elected Governor of Georgia. The winner would only finish the term ending March 3, 1803. A separate election would also be held in October 1803 to fill the seat for the next term.
