The 2004 U.S. Women's Open was the 59th U.S. Women's Open, held July 1–4 at the Orchards Golf Club in South Hadley, Massachusetts, a suburb north of Springfield. The event was televised by ESPN and NBC Sports.

Meg Mallon won her second U.S. Women's Open title, two strokes ahead of runner-up Annika Sörenstam. The 54-hole leader was Jennifer Rosales at 206 (−7), with Mallon, Sörenstam, and Kelly Robbins three strokes back at 209 (−4).{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Qd1WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=jusDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2778%2C926087|newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=Oregon |agency=Associated Press |title=Intense Rosales maintains tenuous Open lead|date=July 4, 2004 |page=D6}}{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Qd1WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=jusDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4656%2C933189|newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=Oregon |agency=Associated Press |title=U.S. Women's Open Third Round lead|date=July 5, 2004 |page=D8}}
