The 2003 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 50th Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) motor race held on the streets of Macau on 16 November 2003. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2003 Macau Grand Prix was not a part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race was divided into two legs: the first leg, which lasted ten laps, was held in the morning. The afternoon leg lasted fifteen laps. The driver who completed all 25 laps in the shortest time was declared the overall winner. The 2003 event was the 50th Macau Grand Prix and the 21st for F3 cars.
Nicolas Lapierre of Signature Plus won the event after finishing second in the first leg, which was won by James Courtney of TOM'S. Four laps from the finish, Lapierre took the lead after Courtney suffered a puncture running over carbon fibre debris and crashed into the wall at the Melco hairpin. Lapierre became the first rookie to win in Macau since David Coulthard in 1991. Fábio Carbone's sister Signature Plus car finished second and Prema Powerteam's Katsuyuki Hiranaka was third.
