The Jersey City 2004 mayoral special election was held on November 2, 2004 to elect a successor to Glenn Cunningham, who died in office of a heart attack. Jerramiah Healy won the election with 28 percent of the vote over his nearest rivals Lou Manzo and acting mayor L. Harvey Smith.

The election was marked by attempts to claim the legacy of deceased Mayor Cunningham, innuendo, and a picture of the eventual winner drunk and naked on his front porch.
