The 2003–04 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the 2003–04 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The team finished 8th in the conference and lost in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament to the Washington Huskies.

The 8th-place finish was worst ever for UCLA since the conference expanded to 10 teams.

This was the first season for head coach Ben Howland following the departure of Steve Lavin.
