The 2004 House elections in Kentucky occurred on November 2, 2004, to elect the members of the State of Kentucky's delegation to the United States House of Representatives. Kentucky had six seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States census.
These elections occurred simultaneously with the United States Senate elections of 2004 (including one in Kentucky), the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections.
Though Democrats picked up a seat via a special election in the 6th congressional district in February of that year, this was later cancelled out by a victory for Republicans in the Fourth district.

When incumbent Congressman Ken Lucas, a Democrat, declined to seek re-election as part of a campaign pledge to only serve three terms, an intense battle emerged in this conservative district based in northern Kentucky.
