The 2004 Bandy World Championship was a competition among bandy playing nations. The men's tournament was played in Sweden from 1 to 8 February 2004 for Group A, while Group B was played at the City Park Ice Rink in Budapest, Hungary, from 25 to 28 February 2004. Finland won the championship for the first time. Eleven bandy playing countries participated in the 2004 championships: Finland, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia, Sweden (Group A) and Belarus, Canada, Estonia, Hungary, Netherlands and United States (Group B).
Finland became world champions. For the first time ever (and, as of 2025, still the only time) the championship went to a team other than Soviet Union/Russia or Sweden.
