2002–03 Albanian Cup (Albanian: Kupa e Shqipërisë) was the fifty-first season of Albania's annual cup competition. It began on August 30th 2002 with the First Round and ended on May 31st, 2003 with the Final match. The winners of the competition qualified for the 2003-04 first round of the UEFA Europa League. KF Tirana were the defending champions, having won their twelvieth Albanian Cup last season. The cup was won by Dinamo Tirana.[1]

The rounds were played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregated score was tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advanced. If the number of away goals was equal in both games, the match was decided by extra time and a penalty shootout, if necessary.
