The 1904 Chicago Maroons football team was an American football team that represented the University of Chicago as a member of the Western Conference (now commonly known as the Big Ten Conference) during the 1904 Western Conference football season. In their 13th season under head coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, the Maroons compiled a 10–1–1 record (5–1–1 in conference games), finished in third place in the conference, shut out eight opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 410 to 44.[1][2]

The Maroons won the first eight games of the season and had convincing victories over Indiana (56–0), Iowa (39–0), Texas (68–0) and Wisconsin (18–11). The team's only setbacks were a 6–6 tie with Illinois and a 22–12 loss to national champion Michigan.[1]

The team played its home games at Marshall Field (later renamed Stagg Field) on the school's campus in Chicago.
