2003–2004 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series

The 2003–2004 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series was a series of stages where events in men's and women's artistic gymnastics were contested. The series was a two-year long competition culminating at a final event, the World Cup Final in 2004. A number of qualifier stages were held.
