The 2003 Men's Hockey Asia Cup was an international field hockey tournament held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 21 to 28 September 2003. It was the sixth edition of the Men's Hockey Asia Cup that started in 1982. The winner of the tournament qualified for the 2006 Men's Hockey World Cup in Germany.

Seven of the eight teams competing in the tournament had qualified via the host nation spot or by finishing in the top six of the previous tournament with the last remaining spot being played between seven teams (which was won by Hong Kong). These eight teams were separated into two groups of four teams with the top two of each group qualifying through to the semi-finals while the bottom two competed for fifth place. After competing in the same group, India and Pakistan competed in the final, which India won 4–2 to take their first title here.[1] South Korea claimed the bronze medal after defeating Japan 4–2.[2]
