# Temporada 2003 del Campeonato Mundial de Superbikes

La Temporada 2003 del Campeonato Mundial de Superbikes fue la decimosexta temporada del Campeonato Mundial de Superbikes FIM. La temporada comenzó el 2 de marzo en Valencia y terminó el 19 de octubre en Magny-Cours después de 12 rondas.
Los cambios de reglas para 2003 permitieron que las máquinas de 1000cc (de dos, tres o cuatro cilindros) corrieran. Los cambios de reglas en MotoGP que permitián motores de 4 tiempos a partir de 2002 significaron que los fabricantes japoneses habían concentrado sus recursos allí; Como resultado el Campeonato del Mundo de Superbike se quedó con la participación limitada de las fábricas, con Ducati, Suzuki y el nuevo-para-2003 Foggy PETRONAS Racing omo los únicos equipos de la fábrica. Como resultado de la mayor parte de la parrilla estaba formada por motos Ducati, al campeonato le fue dada la etiqueta despectiva de la "Copa Ducati".
El equipo Ducati entró las dos únicas Ducati 999 en la parrilla, consiguiendo 20 victorias en 24 carreras en una temporada donde todas las carreras fueron ganadas por Ducati. Neil Hodgson ganó el campeonato de pilotos y Ducati ganó el campeonato de constructores.
