The 2003-04 Toronto Raptors season was the team's ninth season in the NBA. They hoped to improve upon their 24-58 output from the previous season. They did, as they finished the season with a 33-49 record. However, they missed the playoffs for the 2nd season in a row, finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference.

After the season ended, coach Kevin O'Neill and general manager Glen Grunwald were fired by the Raptors.[2] The Raptors were in the playoff mix for most of the season, but a 3-10 finish ended those hopes.

This was Vince Carter's final full season in Toronto as he would be traded to the New Jersey Nets midway through next season.
