The Eurovision Song Contest 2004 was the 49th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest, held in Istanbul, Turkey. This was the first time the country had hosted following Sertab Erener's victory the previous year with the song "Every Way That I Can".

Albania, Andorra, Belarus and Serbia and Montenegro all made their debut while Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Monaco and Switzerland made their return. No country withdrew.

The Contest was won by Ukraine represented by Ruslana with the song "Wild Dances". The victory came just one year after the country's debut and made them the first former Soviet country to win.

To accommodate the increasing number of countries who wished to participate, a semi-final was introduced. The countries which did not qualify for the final are normally calculated like participating countries, as well semi finals are a part of the competition. For the second consecutive year, no returning acts were present - only the sixth time (including 1956) in the history of the Contest that this happened and it was the first time this had happened in two consecutive years.
