During the 2002–03 English football season, Derby County competed in the Football League First Division, following relegation from the FA Premier League the previous season.
Derby were expected to make a bid for an immediate return to the Premiership, but struggled all season which resulted in manager John Gregory being sacked in March and replaced by former Ipswich Town manager George Burley, who led the team to a secure but disappointing 18th-place finish.
Derby retained the previous season's home kit, manufactured by Italian company Erreà and sponsored by Pedigree.
