The 2004 Fukuoka Daiei Hawks season was the 67th season of the franchise in Nippon Professional Baseball, their 11th season in Fukuoka Dome, and their 15th and final season under Daiei, because SoftBank Group took over the Hawks' ownership the following season and rebrand them as the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. This also is the team's 9th season under manager Sadaharu Oh.

The Hawks finished in first, going 77-52-4, for a .594 winning percentage, a bit close to the .600 winning percentage. The Hawks eventually got eliminated by the Seibu Lions in the 2nd stage.
