Andre Agassi defeated Rainer Schüttler in the final, 6–2, 6–2, 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2003 Australian Open. It was his fourth Australian Open title and his eighth and last major title overall.^[1][2] With the win, Agassi claimed his 21st consecutive match win at the Australian Open, after winning the title in 2000 and 2001 (he did not play in 2002 due to injury). At 32 years, 274 days old, Agassi was the oldest men’s grand slam champion since Ken Rosewall in 1972, also at the Australian Open.

Thomas Johansson was the reigning champion, but did not participate due to injury.

Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski's withdrawals from the tournament marked the first time there were no British players competing in the Australian Open in the Open Era.

This event marked the first main-draw major appearance for future world No. 3 David Ferrer, who lost to Lee Hyung-taik in the first round; it also marked the final major appearance for former world No. 4 and 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek, and the final Australian Open appearance of former world No. 1 and 1999 champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Both players were defeated in the second round, by Schüttler and Jarkko Nieminen, respectively.

The seeded players are listed below. Andre Agassi is the champion; others show the round in which they were eliminated.
