State Route 703 (SR 703) is the designation of Samantha Smith Way, also called the Maine Turnpike Authority Approach Road, a 1.91-mile (3.07 km) road located in South Portland, Maine. It runs from southeast to northwest, connecting U.S. Route 1 and State Route 9 to the Maine Turnpike (Interstate 95) via Interstate 295 and The Maine Mall. Except at its endpoints, it is a four-lane freeway with a 55-mile-per-hour (89 km/h) speed limit.

The SR 703 designation and direction are only indicated on mileposts, which increase from east to west as opposed to the standard practice of increasing from west to east. All other signage refers only to the other routes to which it connects (I-95, I-295, US 1 and SR 114).
