King's Highway 103, commonly referred to as Highway 103, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Located in the Muskoka District, the highway extended from Highway 12 at Waubaushene to Highway 69 at Foot's Bay. Opened in 1944, the highway existed until 1976, when a series of renumberings eliminated the designation, replacing it with Highway 69; Highway 400 has since been built over the majority of this former route.
Highway 103 followed much of the route that Highway 400 now takes between Highway 12 at Coldwater and the former Highway 69 junction (Exit 189) south of Mactier. From there it followed what is now Lake Joseph Road to Foot's Bay, where it met what became Highway 169, now known as Muskoka District Road 169.
Between Coldwater and Waubaushene, the route was concurrent with Highway 12 for a brief period in the mid-1960s. From there, it crossed over Matchedash Bay and circled around the south and eastern shoreline of Sturgeon Bay to Port Severn. From there, the route travelled through was then a barren wilderness for 38 kilometres (24 mi) within the District of Muskoka. At Foot's Bay, the route encountered Highway 69, which continued east to Highway 11 in Gravenhurst and north to Sudbury.
