The BAR 002 was the car with which the British American Racing Formula One team competed in the 2000 Formula One season. It was driven by the 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, and Brazilian Ricardo Zonta, both drivers in their second year with the team.

The BAR 002 was the inaugural season of a Honda engine supply, a partnership which would eventually lead to the team being bought out by the Japanese company for the 2006 season. The car had its first shakedown with the new engine at Silverstone Circuit in December 1999, where Jacques Villeneuve completed 34 laps. Due to a focus on the reliability of the car for 2000, visually the car looked very similar to the BAR 01 of the previous season

The BAR 002 was launched at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, on 24 January, 2000. Alongside full time drivers Villeneuve and Zonta, Darren Manning was signed as test driver and Patrick Lemarié continued as a development driver for the season. This was the first time the BAR had been seen in its new Lucky Strike livery, stepping away from the split branding of Lucky Strike and 555 the season prior
