These are the results of the 2003 IAAF World Athletics Final, which took place in at the Stade Louis II in Monte Carlo, Monaco on 13–14 September.

The competition replaced the IAAF Grand Prix Final, which had a varying set of events each year, with a full set programme of 33 track and field events. The year's top seven athletes, based on their IAAF World Rankings, qualified to compete in each event, with an extra four athletes selected for races of 1500 metres and above. One additional athlete, a wildcard, was allocated to each event by the IAAF and replacement athletes were admitted to replace the qualified athletes that could not attend the final.World Athletics Final – a new concept based on a tradition of quality.

Young had won the men's 400 metres and White was the women's 200 metres winner.
