The Isle of Wight Festival 2003 was the second revived Isle of Wight Festival to take place on the Seaclose Park site in Newport on the Isle of Wight. It was the first to take place on the second weekend in June, which would be then set as the Festival's annual date.

A follow-up to Rock Island 2002, the event was taken over by promoters 'Solo' and was thus the first curated by John Giddings. Attendance was around 14,000.
