Eirodziesma 2004 was the fifth edition of Eirodziesma, the music competition that selects Latvia's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Artists and songwriters were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster until 15 November 2003. 69 songs were submitted at the conclusion of the submission period, and a ten-member international and local jury panel evaluated the submitted entries and selected 10 entries to compete in the national final.[2] The selection jury consisted of SKAMP (2001 Lithuanian Eurovision entrants), Urban Trad (2003 Belgian Eurovision entrants), Alf Poier (2003 Austrian Eurovision entrant), One (2002 Cypriot Eurovision entrants), Marius Bratten (Director of the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 and 2002), Tim Gruhl (journalist), Ivar Must (composer, co-wrote the 2001 Estonian Eurovision winning song "Everybody"), Rolands Ūdris (singer), Alec Matko (International Coordinator of OGAE) and representatives of the LTV Eurovision team. The ten competing artists and songs were announced on 3 December 2003.[3]

The final took place on 28 February 2004 at the Olympic Centre in Ventspils, hosted by Dāvids Ernštreits and Ija Circene. The winner was selected over two rounds of public televoting. In the first round, the top three entries were selected to proceed to the second round: "Dziesma par laimi" performed by Fomins & Kleins, "Like a Star" performed by Tatjana Timčuka and "We Share the Sun" performed by Johny Salamander & Meldra.
