The AFC Asian Cup 2004 Final was an association football match that took place on 7 August 2004 at the Workers Stadium in Beijing, People's Republic of China, to determine the winner of the 2004 AFC Asian Cup.

Japan defeated China PR 3–1. This was third time that Japan won the AFC Asian Cup tournament.

Chinese fans jeered during Japan's national anthem and also during Japanese possession of the ball. Following the match, rioting by Chinese fans erupted near the north gate of Beijing's Workers Stadium and Japanese fans were transported to safety by bus.^[1]

Japanese player Koji Nakata's handball goal at 68th minute was not picked up by the referee, which led to great dissatisfaction of Chinese fans.

The tournament's closing ceremony was held immediately prior to kickoff.
