The 1903 All England Championships was a badminton tournament held at the London Rifle Brigade Drill Hall in Islington, London, England from 26–28 March 1903.[1]

In the men's singles Ralph Watling of Great Yarmouth successfully defended his title.[2]

Meriel Lucas was unable to defend her singles and doubles titles due to a family illness. The women's singles and doubles consisted of only three rounds following a small number of entries. The women's singles only had five entries and this was attributed to the increase in younger players causing the older women not to enter.[1][3]
