The 2002–03 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was a first-class domestic cricket competition held in Pakistan during the 2002–03 season.[1] It was contested by 24 teams representing departments and regional associations, divided into four qualifying groups of six teams each, with the top four teams in each group advancing to the pre-quarter-finals.[2][3]

The knockout rounds were heavily affected by rain, and the semi-finals and final were shifted to Karachi.[4] Pakistan International Airlines won the trophy for the sixth time, defeating Khan Research Laboratories by 10 wickets in the final at the National Stadium in Karachi.[5] Misbah-ul-Haq was the competition's leading run-scorer with 963 runs, while Jaffar Nazir took 44 wickets, the most in the tournament.[6][7]
