The 2004 Kraft Nabisco Championship was a women's professional golf tournament, held March 25–28 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. This was the 33rd edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and the 22nd edition as a major championship.
Grace Park won her only major title by one stroke, sinking a 6-foot (1.8 m) birdie putt on the 72nd hole. Only moments earlier, runner-up Aree Song had dropped a 30-foot (9 m) eagle putt to tie. Long-time tournament director Terry Wilcox called this Kraft Nabisco "the most thrilling he can recall."
The top amateur was 14-year-old Michelle Wie, four strokes back in fourth place.
Defending champion Patricia Meunier-Lebouc gave birth to her first child in February and opted not to participate.
