Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth (2003) (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends: El Santo and Salvador Lutteroth") was a professional wrestling supercard show event, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council"). The Dos Leyendas show took place on March 21, 2003 in CMLL's main venue, Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The event was to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who died in March 1987. This was fifth March show held under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas name, having previously been known as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth. Starting in 1999 CMLL honored not just their founder, but also El Santo, the most famous Mexican professional wrestler ever.[2] The name of the annual March event would later be shortened to just Homenaje a Dos Leyendas after CMLL had a falling out with El Santo's son El Hijo del Santo, with the event honoring a different wrestler along with Lutteroth.

In the main event of the show Pierroth Jr. defeated Gran Markus Jr. in a best two-out-of-three falls Lucha de Apuestas match. As a result of his loss, Gran Markus Jr. was shaved bald in the middle of the ring per lucha libre traditions. On the under card Black Tiger, Dr. Wagner Jr. and Universo 2000 defeated Atlantis, Black Warrior and Mr. Niebla to win the CMLL World Trios Championship. The card featured four further matches, three Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match, and a regular Tag team match.
