The by|2003 American League Division Series (ALDS), the opening round of the 2003 American League playoffs, began on Tuesday, September 30, and ended on Monday, October 6, with the champions of the three AL divisions—along with a "wild card" team—participating in two best-of-five series. The teams were:

*(1) New York Yankees (Eastern Division champion, 101-61) vs. (3) Minnesota Twins (Central Division champion, 90-72): Yankees win series, 3-1.
*(2) Oakland Athletics (Western Division champion, 96-66) vs. (4) Boston Red Sox (Wild Card, 95-67): Red Sox win series, 3-2.

"The higher seed (in parentheses) had the home field advantage (Games 1, 2 and 5 at home), which was determined by playing record. Although the team with the best record was normally intended to play the wild card team, the Yankees played the Twins, rather than the wild card Red Sox, because the Yankees and Red Sox are in the same division."

The Yankees and Red Sox went on to meet in the AL Championship Series, for the right to advance to the 2003 World Series against the National League champion Florida Marlins.

Down 1-0 in the sixth inning, the Athletics had a potential rally stifled by controversial outs. Eric Byrnes was tagged out after failing to touch home plate after a collision with catcher Jason Varitek. Miguel Tejada was similarly retired following a collision with Bill Mueller while rounding third base. The one run scored in the inning sent the game into extra innings, where Boston won on a two-run walk-off home run by Trot Nixon. Scott Williamson was credited with the win, and Rich Harden was credited with the loss.

After Oakland starter Tim Hudson left with a strained left oblique after only one inning, the A's bullpen held the Sox to only three runs over the next seven innings. With a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning, however, closer Keith Foulke gave up a game-winning 2-RBI double to David Ortiz, scoring Nomar Garciaparra and Manny Ramírez. Scott Williamson was credited with the win.

The Red Sox rode a four-run sixth inning, highlighted by a 3-run Manny Ramírez home run to complete their comeback from an 0-2 series deficit. Down by one run, the A's loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but failed to score as temporary closer Derek Lowe struck out Terrence Long looking. The win was marred by a violent collision between outfielder Johnny Damon and second baseman Damian Jackson. Damon was sent to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion. Both starters factored into the decision, as Pedro Martínez was credited with the win, and Barry Zito was credited with the loss.

Boston's victory secured their place in the American League Championship Series.
