The 2003 FIU Golden Panthers football team represented Florida International University in the 2003 NCAA Division I-AA football season as an NCAA Division I-AA independent school. The Panthers were led by head coach Don Strock in his second season and finished with a record of zero wins and ten losses (0–10).
