The 2003 Wisconsin Supreme Court election was held on April 1, 2003, to elect a justice to the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a ten-year term. Patience Roggensack defeated Edward R. Brunner and Paul B. Higginbotham (the latter of whom was eliminated in a nonpartisan primary). Incumbent justice William A. Bablitch did not seek re-election.
Prior to the election, the court's ideological composition had 3 liberal justices, 3 conservative justices, and 1 centrist justice. By replacing the liberal Bablitch with the conservative Roggensack, the election resulted in a short-lived conservative ideological majority on the court (after Louis B. Butler's appointment the next year, this majority would be lost).
