The 103rd United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 1993, to January 3, 1995, during the final weeks of George H. W. Bush's presidency and the first two years of Bill Clinton's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the Twenty-first Census of the United States in 1990.

Both chambers maintained a Democratic majority, and with Bill Clinton being sworn in as President on January 20, 1993, this gave the Democrats an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 96th Congress in 1979.
