The 2004 UEFA Super Cup was the 29th UEFA Super Cup, an annual association football match contested by the winners of the previous season's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup competitions. The match was played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco on 27 August 2004 and contested by Porto of Portugal and Valencia of Spain.

Porto qualified as winners of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, having defeated Monaco of the French league 3–0 in the final, and were appearing in the Super Cup for the third time, following victory in 1987 and defeat in 2003. Meanwhile, Valencia were appearing as winners of the 2003–04 UEFA Cup, following victory over another French team, Marseille. It was their second Super Cup, having won in their only previous appearance in 1980.

Watched by a crowd of 17,292, a goal from Rubén Baraja gave Valencia the lead after half an hour, before Marco Di Vaio doubled their lead midway through the second half. Ricardo Quaresma scored for Porto in the 78th minute, but they were unable to find an equaliser and Valencia won the match 2–1 to win their second Super Cup.
