The 2003 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election ended on November 14, 2003, electing former Finance Minister Paul Martin as the party's new leader, replacing outgoing Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
The period between Paul Martin's assumption of the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada and the announcement of the 2004 federal election saw a considerable amount of infighting within the party. The divisions in the Liberal Party, the party's embroilment in the Sponsorship Scandal, and a united Conservative opposition, all combined to end 12 years of Liberal rule in the 2006 federal election.
The following is a timeline of the Canadian federal election, 2004. More on the election in general is available in the article 2004 Canadian federal election.
