The 2003 London Champ Car Trophy was the fourth round of the 2003 CART World Series season, held on May 5, 2003 on the Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch in Longfield, Kent, England. Sébastien Bourdais won the race, his first victory of 31 in his Champ Car career.
Because of short length of the Indy circuit Champ Car modified the usual road course qualification rules for this event, adopting an oval-style single car at a time qualifying format.
*Ryan Hunter-Reay spun on his warm-up lap and did not set a time in the first qualification session.
