The 2003 Armageddon was the fourth Armageddon professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The event took place on December 14, 2003, at the TD Waterhouse Centre in Orlando, Florida.

The main event was a Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Kane, Triple H, and champion Goldberg. Triple H won the match and the World Heavyweight Championship after pinning Goldberg following a chokeslam from Kane. The undercard included Randy Orton winning the Intercontinental Championship from Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels defeating Batista.

The event grossed US$450,000 with 9,000 ticket sales and received 200,000 pay-per-view buys. Armageddon was met with a generally negative critical reception. The event was claimed to be a "flop" by Canadian Online Explorer's professional wrestling event section. They rated the overall event a one out of ten. When the event was released on DVD, it reached a peak position of second on Billboard's DVD sales chart for recreational sports. It remained on the chart for four consecutive weeks.
