The 2004 United States Figure Skating Championships was a competition to determine the national champions of the United States. The event was also among the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 2004 World Figure Skating Championships, 2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, and the 2004 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.
Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth) in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice.
Organized by U.S. Figure Skating, the 2004 Championships took place between January 3–11, 2004 in the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
