The 2003–04 season was the 123rd season in the existence of FC Girondins de Bordeaux and the club's 13th consecutive season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, Bordeaux participated in this season's edition of the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue and the UEFA Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004.

Season summary

Without the goals of Pauleta, Bordeaux had a poor season and slipped to 12th in the league. Manager Élie Baup was sacked in October and replaced by former midfielder Michel Pavon, but results failed to improve. However, they did make an impressive run to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
