The Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final is an elite figure skating competition. Its name is often abbreviated "Grand Prix Final". Skaters compete in men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Unlike in most competitions, the compulsory dance is not part of the ice dance competition at the Grand Prix Final.

The Grand Prix Final is the culminating event of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series, which at the time consisted of Skate America, Skate Canada International, Bofrost Cup on Ice, Trophée Lalique, Cup of Russia, and NHK Trophy competitions. The top six skaters from each discipline competed in the final.

In the 2002-2003 season, competitors at the Grand Prix Final were to perform a short program, followed by two free skating or free dance programs. This was implemented because of television coverage. Ottavio Cinquanta envisioned that the skaters would perform two new free skating programs for the season at the final and this would appeal to and help attract viewers. Instead, most skaters went back to an old free skate program for one of the free skates. Due to the failure of this plan, the second free skate/dance was eventually removed from the Grand Prix Final.

The 2002-2003 season Grand Prix Final took place between February 28 and March 2, 2003 in St Petersburg, Russia.
