The 2003 El Paso mayoral election was held on May 3, 2003, to elect the mayor of El Paso, Texas. It saw the election of Joe Wardy, who unseated incumbent mayor Raymond Caballero.

This was the first El Paso mayoral election held under new rules which saw a shift from the previous system under which a nonpartisan primary was followed by a general election of the top-two finishers to a new system in which a runoff is held only if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round.^{[citation needed]} This was the last El Paso mayoral election to a two-year term, as terms were to be extended to four-years beginning with the subsequent 2005 election.^{[citation needed]}

No runoff was required, as Wardy secured a majority of the vote in the initial round.
