The 9th Empire Awards ceremony (officially known as the Sony Ericsson Empire Awards), presented by the British film magazine Empire, honored the best films of 2003 and took place on 4 February 2004 at The Dorchester Hotel in London, England.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was renamed to Career Achievement Award this year but was reverted to its former name at its next and last presentation.
