Ireland competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. This was the nation's eighteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics.

The Olympic Council of Ireland sent a total of 46 athletes to the Games, 32 men and 14 women, to compete in nine sports. The International Olympic Committee allowed athletes from Northern Ireland the option to compete at the Olympic games for either Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or for Ireland. Ireland's Olympic campaign for the Games started with a controversy, as middle-distance runner Cathal Lombard failed a drug test for EPO, and was not allowed to compete.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/aug/09/athensolympics2004.athletics|title=Lombard admits taking EPO|date=9 August 2004|publisher=Guardian Media Group|work=The Guardian|access-date=9 April 2014|agency=Press Association}}

Originally, Ireland left Athens with only a gold medal from show jumper Cian O'Connor. On 8 October 2004, International Federation for Equestrian Sports announced that Waterford Crystal, owned by O'Connor, failed a horse doping test for fluphenazine and zuclopenthixol that formally stripped off O'Connor's Olympic title in early 2005. Because O'Connor decided not to appeal, he was formally stripped of his Olympic title, which was awarded to silver medalist Rodrigo Pessoa of Brazil.{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/0407/oconnorc.html|title=O'Connor not to appeal FEI ruling|date=7 April 2005|publisher=RTÉ News|access-date=30 July 2012}}{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/athens/skill/2005-08-29-equestrian-doping_x.htm|title=Brazilian show jumper gets Olympic gold|agency=Associated Press|date=29 August 2005|publisher=USA Today|access-date=30 July 2012}}

Athletics

Irish athletes achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of three athletes in each event at the 'A' Standard, and 1 at the 'B' Standard).{{cite web|title=Top Lists|url=http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/index.html|publisher=IAAF|access-date=4 June 2011}}{{cite web|title=IAAF Games of the XXX Olympiad – Athens 2004 Entry Standards|url=http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/olympic-games-athens|publisher=IAAF|access-date=4 June 2011}} Middle-distance runner Cathal Lombard was initially selected to the team, but he failed a drug test for EPO, and was not allowed to compete.
