MVP Baseball 2003 is a baseball video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Microsoft Windows in 2003. It is the first installment of the MVP Baseball series, and was released as a successor to EA's Triple Play games, though it bore little more than a graphical similarity to its predecessors, which had been heavily maligned by critics in the series' final years. The PlayStation 2 version was ported to Japan for release on June 5, 2003.

Randy Johnson and Miguel Tejada were the cover players.

The 2003 game is the last game that uses a points system for player's salary; starting with the 2004 game an actual dollar amount is used for salaries. The 2003 game does not penalize a user for releasing a player during the season in franchise mode, whereas the 2004 and 2005 games invoke a salary penalty for releasing a player under contract.
