The 1904 Minnesota lieutenant gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1904. Incumbent Lieutenant Governor Ray W. Jones of the Republican Party of Minnesota defeated Minnesota Democratic Party challenger Fendall G. Winston.

The incumbent is the current holder of an office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent(s). For example, in the 2017 Hungarian presidential election, János Áder was the incumbent, because he had been the president in the term before the term for which the election sought to determine the president. A race without an incumbent is referred to as an open seat.
