'''Miss USA 2003''' was the 52nd [[Miss USA]] pageant, held at the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium in [[San Antonio, Texas|San Antonio]], [[Texas]] on March 24, 2003.<ref name="Leader-Telegram">{{cite news |title=Castillo crowned Miss USA |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/leader-telegram-castillo-crowned-miss-us/128557152/ |access-date=20 July 2023 |work=[[Leader-Telegram]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=March 25, 2003 |page=10}}</ref> It was the first time it had been held in this state since [[Miss USA 1996|1996]] when the pageant was held in [[South Padre Island, Texas|South Padre Island]]. It was the latest it had been held since [[Miss USA 1986|1986]], as previous pageants had been held in February or early March and this was the first Miss USA to be broadcast on [[NBC]], replacing [[CBS]], which had broadcast the pageant since [[Miss USA 1963|1963]].

The pageant was won by [[Susie Castillo]] of [[Massachusetts]], who was crowned by outgoing queen [[Shauntay Hinton]] of the [[District of Columbia]].<ref name="Leader-Telegram"/> The format reverted to a Top Ten who competed in swimsuit and evening gown,<ref name="Leader-Telegram"/> although, as with 2002, there was no interview competition for the semi-finalists. This would be the last year where a top ten was called until 2017. The following [[Miss Universe Organization]] pageant, [[Miss Universe 2003]] and onward, fifteen semi-finalists have been called each year.

[[Daisy Fuentes]] co-hosted the event for the first time (although she had been a color commentator in 1995), joined by [[Billy Bush]] who would also host the 2004 and 2005 events, as well as the Miss Universe pageants all three years. Color commentary was added by reigning Miss USA [[Shauntay Hinton]]. Entertainment was provided by Burn The Floor.
