Local elections in Wales were held on 10 June 2004 to elect members to the twenty-two local authorities. They were held alongside other local elections in the United Kingdom. The previous elections were held in 1999.
The elections were originally scheduled for May 2003, but were delayed to avoid a conflict with the 2003 Wales Assembly elections. However, this meant they took place on the same day as the 2004 elections to the European Parliament. 3,135 candidates competed for 1,262 council seats across Wales, in 879 electoral wards.
