The 55th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held on September 21, 2003. The awards show was broadcast on Fox. Nominees are listed below; winners are in bold. The Sci-Fi channel received its first major nomination this year.

With the win in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Debra Messing, Will & Grace became only the third television show to have all credited actors winning Emmys for their roles, following All In The Family and The Golden Girls. For its seventh season, Everybody Loves Raymond won its first Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. It led all comedies with four major wins and ten major nominations. The West Wing won Outstanding Drama Series for the fourth straight year, tying the record set by Hill Street Blues, (was also later tied by Mad Men). Despite failing to win Outstanding Drama Series, The Sopranos continued to rake in the awards, leading all dramas with four major wins.

For the first time since 1991 the Outstanding Drama Series field did not include Law & Order, it was nominated 11 times in the category, a record for drama series that still stands. The mark tied the overall record held by comedy series M*A*S*H and Cheers. For the first time since its premiere, Frasier, then in its tenth and penultimate season, didn't win a major award, with its only major nominations going to David Hyde Pierce and John Mahoney for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
