The 203 series (203系) is an electric multiple unit train type introduced in 1982 by Japanese National Railways (JNR) and later operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on through services between the Jōban Line and Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line until 2011.
The 203 series trains did not operate on through services to the Odakyū Odawara Line, as they lacked Odakyū train radio and ATS systems.
