Presidential elections were held in Montenegro on 11 May 2003. They were the third such elections in six months, as those held in December 2002 and February 2003 had been declared invalid due to voter turnouts of less than 50%.^[1] For the May election, the turnout rule was abolished, and even though turnout was once again below 50% (48.32%), the results stood.

Filip Vujanović, who was nominated by the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro and Social Democratic Party of Montenegro, won the election with 64.34% of the vote. Vujanović had also won both previous votes by a large margin.
