Romania competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. Romanian athletes have competed at every Summer Olympic Games since its official debut in 1924, missing only two editions, including the 1948 Summer Olympics. The Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee ({{langx|ro|Comitetul Olimpic și Sportiv Român}}, COSR) sent the nation's smallest team to the Games since the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. A total of 108 athletes, 50 men and 58 women, had competed in 16 different sports, most notably in artistic gymnastics and rowing. For the third time in Olympic history, Romania was again represented by more female than male athletes.

The Romanian team featured several Olympic medalists from Sydney four years earlier, including coxless rowing pair Monica Roşu and Viorica Susanu, sprint canoeists Florin Popescu and Mitică Pricop, gymnastics champion Marius Urzică in men's pommel horse, and rowers Doina Ignat and Georgeta Andrunache. Pistol shooter and 1988 Olympic champion Sorin Babii, and rowing legend Elisabeta Lipă, who won a total of seven Olympic medals in her illustrious sporting career, became the first Romanian athletes to compete in six Olympic Games. Having received the second most medals by a single athlete in the nation's Olympic history, Lipa reprised her role to carry the Romanian flag in the opening ceremony for the second consecutive time.{{cite news|title=Elisabeta Lipa, port-drapelul României la Atena|trans-title=Elisabeta Lipa will be Romania's flag bearer in Athens|language=ro|url=http://www.apropo.ro/sport/extrafotbal/elisabeta-lipa-port-drapelul-romaniei-la-atena-2182941|publisher=Apropo|date=26 July 2004|access-date=6 May 2014}}

Despite being the smallest team to the Games since 1988, Romania left Athens with a total of 19 Olympic medals, 8 golds, 5 silver, and 6 bronze, failing only three golds short of the total achieved in Sydney.{{cite web|url=http://content.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/athens/medals.aspx|title=2004 Athens: Medal Tally|work=USA Today|access-date=1 April 2014}} Most of these medals were awarded to the athletes in artistic gymnastics and rowing, including three prestigious Olympic titles from Cătălina Ponor in women's floor, balance beam, and team all-around exercises.{{cite news|title=Romanian Ponor wins Olympic beam gold|url=http://english.people.com.cn/200408/24/eng20040824_154482.html|publisher=People's Daily|date=24 August 2004|access-date=6 May 2014}} Apart from Ponor's Olympic glory, the nation's highlight of the Games also came with a powerful triumph of the rowing team, as the Romanians managed to secure their title in the women's eight. With a stark tally of eight medals, Lipa greatly emerged as the most successful female rower in the entire Olympic history after winning her fourth consecutive gold and fifth overall within a record span of 20 years.{{cite news|last=Cross|first=Martin|title=Women take charge as silver scullers push Britain to best haul for 76 years|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/aug/23/athensolympics2004.rowing1|work=The Guardian|date=23 August 2004|access-date=6 May 2014}}{{cite news|last=Thiel|first=Art|title=Pride on the water in Athens|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Pride-on-the-water-in-Athens-1152275.php|publisher=Seattle Post-Intelligencer|date=22 August 2004|access-date=6 May 2014}}

Boxing

{{main|Boxing at the 2004 Summer Olympics}}

Romania sent three boxers to Athens. None lost in the round of 32, as two won and the third had a bye. In the round of 16, though, one boxer was defeated. Another fell in the quarterfinal. The third survived to the semifinal, where he was defeated to finish with a bronze medal. That medal put Romania in a five-way tie for 16th place in the boxing medal count.
