The 1903 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1903 college football season. In their first and only season under head coach Edward Leonard King, the Cadets compiled a 6–2–1 record, shut out five of their nine opponents (including a scoreless tie with Colgate), and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 164 to 33. The team's only losses were to Harvard (5–0) and Yale (17–5). In an intersectional game, the Cadets defeated Chicago by a 10 to 6 score. In the annual Army–Navy Game, the Cadets defeated the Midshipmen by a 40 to 5 score.

Three members of the squad were honored by one or both of Walter Camp (WC) and Caspar Whitney (CW) on the 1903 College Football All-America Team. They are: guard Napoleon Riley (WC-2); halfback Edward Farnsworth (CW-2); and fullback Frederick Prince (CW-2).
