2003–04 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season

The 2003–04 season was the 106th season of competitive league football in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. They played the season in the Premiership, the highest level of English football. This marked their first ever appearance in the modern Premier League, and their first season in the top flight since 1983–84. The club had been promoted after having won the play-off final at the end of the previous season to earn the final promotion spot.

The season turned out a disappointment. The team struggled throughout the campaign and were eventually relegated in 20th place, finishing bottom of the division on goal difference, some seven points short of safety.
