Chairman's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

U.S. Treasuries proved to be one of the best-performing investments of 2002, gaining nearly 12% for the year according to the Lehman Brothers® Treasury Index. In fact, all categories of investment-grade bonds finished the year in the plus column. Stocks, on the other hand, declined for the third consecutive year, but a strong fourth quarter left many equity investors hopeful of better things to come in 2003.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives and by portfolio characteristics and capitalization. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Annual Report

Average annual total returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

$10,000 Over 10 Years

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Contrafund® on December 31, 1992, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Three years into the new millennium and major U.S. equity indexes still have yet to generate a positive return. The current three-year losing streak is the first of its kind since 1939-41, and only once in market history have U.S. stocks dropped in four consecutive years. Turning to more recent performance, the large-cap oriented Standard & Poor's 500SM Index dropped 22.10% during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2002, while continued weakness in the technology and telecommunications sectors contributed to the 31.27% dive of the NASDAQ Composite® Index. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - with only four of its 30 component stocks of a tech-related nature - managed a relatively better but still negative 14.99% decline. Much of 2002's weak performance, as well as the overall three-year skid, can be traced back to the nine-year winning streak in the 1990s. During that time, valuations became grossly inflated and, in 2002, we learned that a number of companies were practicing creative accounting to prop up their reported earnings. Further, the peace dividend that Wall Street enjoyed in the ´90s disappeared in '02, as fears of another war with Iraq and worries about further terrorist incidents weighed heavily on investor psyche. On a more upbeat note, a solid fourth quarter rally spurred hopes for a recovery in 2003.

An interview with Will Danoff, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Contrafund

Q. How did the fund perform, Will?

A. The fund did well relative to its benchmarks. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 2002, the fund returned -9.63%. This topped both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 22.10%, and the growth funds average, which fell 24.97% according to Lipper Inc.

Q. What factors helped the fund's performance?

A. Avoiding the big problem stocks during this difficult period was just as important as owning the best-performing ones. We were able to steer clear of some of the high-profile disappointments, such as Home Depot and AOL Time Warner, both of which fell by more than 50% due to poor earnings growth. The fund mostly avoided companies that had alleged accounting irregularities as well, including WorldCom. Our minimal exposure to the technology and telecommunications sectors, both of which fell by 30% in 2002, also benefited relative performance. We averaged a combined 5% weighting in these groups during the period, versus a 20% combined average weighting for the S&P 500.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Health care and consumer staples stocks were well-represented within the fund. What did you like?

A. Earnings growth drives stock performance, and I anticipated early in the period that earnings growth would be disappointing throughout the market, particularly in aggressive areas such as tech and telecom. Therefore, I set my sights on companies that I felt offered steady and predictable earnings growth, and found some options in these groups. Within health care, I was especially attracted to hospital and health management organizations. An aging population spurred demand for these types of companies, and in the case of UnitedHealth Group - one of our largest positions - excellent pricing, tight cost controls and outstanding free cash flow led to strong performance. We also held sizable positions in stocks such as Avon and Colgate-Palmolive within the consumer staples area. These companies performed well due to their excellent brands, understandable products and business models, and good growth prospects.

Q. The fund realized nice gains from both its defense and gold stocks. Can you elaborate?

A. Most of my defense strategy revolved around Lockheed Martin, which was our largest position and our best performer over the past 12 months. Under new management, Lockheed improved operating performance, cut costs and sold off poorly performing divisions. The company also won the massive, multi-year Joint Strike fighter plane contract in late 2001. Additionally, gold stocks fared well in 2002, as prices rose due to favorable supply and demand conditions. Newmont Mining, a top-20 position, benefited from these trends and contributed meaningfully to performance.

Q. Which stocks hurt performance?

A. I was caught off-guard by the implosions of both Tenet Healthcare and Elan, an Irish biotechnology company. Both stocks fell sharply due to accounting issues. Another disappointment was Automatic Data Processing, or ADP, which fell in value after announcing that it would fail to deliver the double-digit quarterly earnings growth it had sustained for 40-plus years. These mistakes will make me a better investor. The fund did not own Elan or ADP at the end of the period.

Q. What's your outlook, Will?

A. I'm very concerned about the high levels of debt at the consumer, corporate and federal government levels. Holiday spending was stagnant this year in part because consumers have piled up too much debt. I'm also concerned about the effect of the continued emergence of China as the world's leading and low-cost manufacturer. Because U.S. manufacturing is no longer competitive with foreign alternatives, especially in China, efforts to stimulate the U.S. economy are being offset by the fact that incremental demand for goods is being met more by exporters than by our domestic businesses. China's emergence as a low-cost provider has put deflationary pressure on American companies, which has made earnings growth difficult. Despite these concerns, the fund will continue to seek companies that I feel can sustain good earnings growth in a slower-growing, more competitive business world.

Will Danoff talks about initial public offerings in 2002:

"In the aftermath of the bursting of the technology bubble - and in the third year of equity market declines - the IPO market was surprisingly lucrative in 2002. The fund took a contrarian approach to IPOs and actively sought them out as opportunities to find new, potentially fast-growing companies at a time when many investors were retreating due to heavy losses.

"Three of the larger IPOs we invested in during 2002 were Leapfrog Enterprises, which makes educational toys, JetBlue Airways - which offers discounted air travel - and Montpelier Re Holdings, which provides specialty property reinsurance. While each of these companies compete in very different fields, they did share some of the common attributes I seek in my investments, including smart, motivated management, innovative and differentiated products, and healthy profits and returns. I hope I've invested early in some good growth stories, and that the fund's shareholders will benefit accordingly. Over the years, I've also realized a valuable offshoot of buying IPOs. As I learn more and more about some of the younger, faster-growing companies in an industry, it gives me a better perspective of the competitive positioning and growth prospects of the larger, more mature sector leaders."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2002

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Contrafund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Contrafund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results

of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of +/- .20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .81% of the fund's average net assets.

Sales Load. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, received sales charges of $1,706 on sales of shares of the fund all of which was retained.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $39,709 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $9,678 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $3 and $393, respectively.
