The 2003–04 Minnesota Wild season was the Wild's fourth season.

The 2003 NHL Entry Draft was held at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nasvhille, Tennessee. After finishing the 2002–03 season with a 42–29–10–1 record, the Wild were awarded the 20th pick in the draft. Despite figuring fourth in the League for the previous season with only 178 goals allowed, and scoring only 198 goals, General Manager Doug Risebrough selected defenseman Brent Burns in the first round.

The 54th National Hockey League All-Star Game took place during the 2003–04 season and was held on February 8, 2004, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, home arena of the Wild. The Eastern Conference defeated the Western Conference 6–4.
