The1903 Princeton Tigers football team was anAmerican football team that representedPrinceton University as an independent during the1903 college football season. In their first season under head coachArt Hillebrand, the Tigers compiled a perfect 11–0 record, shut out 10 of 11 opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 259 to 6.[1]John DeWitt was the team captain.

There was no contemporaneous system in 1903 for determining anational champion. However, Princeton was retroactively named as the national champion by theBillingsley Report,Helms Athletic Foundation,Houlgate System, andParke H. Davis, and as a co-national champion by theNational Championship Foundation (NCF).[2]Michigan was co-champion by the NCF.

Three Princeton players were selected as consensus first-team players on the1903 All-America team: halfbackDana Kafer; endHoward Henry; and guardJohn DeWitt.[3] DeWitt was later inducted into theCollege Football Hall of Fame.[4] Other notable players included endRalph Tipton Davis.
