The 2003 Chicago Bears season was their 84th regular season completed in the National Football League. The club posted a 7-9 record under head coach Dick Jauron. The team was once again in a quarterbacking carousel with quarterbacks Kordell Stewart, Chris Chandler, and rookie Rex Grossman. The club improved over its 4-12 record of the season before, but it was not enough to save Jauron's job.
