The 2004 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 51st Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three race (F3) held on the streets of Macau on 21 November 2004. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2004 Macau Grand Prix was not part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from any F3 championship. The Macau Grand Prix featured two races for the first time in its history: a ten-lap qualifying race that determined the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The Macau Grand Prix was held for the 51st time in 2004, and the 22nd for F3 cars.
ASM Formula 3's Alexandre Prémat won the Grand Prix after finishing third in the previous day's qualification race, which was won by Manor Motorsport's Lewis Hamilton. Prémat took the race lead when Nico Rosberg and Hamilton went too fast into a corner and slid into a tyre barrier at Lisboa corner and held it for the rest of the race to win after it ended early for a four-car pile up at Police Bend that made the circuit impassable on the 13th lap. Robert Kubica finished second while third was Hitech Racing's Lucas di Grassi.
