Athletics competitions at the 2003 South Pacific Games were held at the National Stadium in Suva, Fiji, between July 7 and 12, 2003.
A total of 44 events were contested, 23 by men and 21 by women.
There were some issues with the eligibility of athletes. Lisa Misipeka and Kelsey Nakanelua, both from American Samoa, were excluded, because due to the games charter, the athletes must have lived in their country or territory for at least five years. Expatriates must have lived in that country or territory for a period of four years immediately prior to the closing date for individual entries. Kristy Slade from Samoa was also found to be ineligible after winning the women's heptathlon.
