The 2004 Tennessee Titans season was the 45th season overall and 35th with the league. The team attempted to improve upon their previous output of 12–4, but was only able to win five games in 2004^[1] and missed the playoffs.

The season is notable when the team lost three starters from the famed 1999 team; lineman Jevon Kearse went to the Philadelphia Eagles, running back Eddie George was released before the season, and he would later sign with the Dallas Cowboys and tight end Frank Whycheck retired after the 2003 season.
