The 2003 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on 1 June 2003 at the Circuit de Monaco. It was the seventh race of the 2003 Formula One season. The 78-lap race was won by Juan Pablo Montoya in a Williams car from a third position start. Kimi Räikkönen finished second driving for McLaren, with Michael Schumacher third in a Ferrari.
