Mongolia competed at the2004 Summer Olympics inAthens,Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. This was the nation's tenth appearance at the Olympics, except the1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, because of its partial support to theSoviet boycott.

TheMongolian National Olympic Committee sent a total of 20 athletes, 13 men and 7 women, to compete in 7 different sports, tying its delegation count with Sydney four years earlier. In the wake ofMunkhbayar Dorjsuren's transfer to the German team, three Mongolian athletes had previously competed in Sydney, including shooterOtryadyn Gündegmaa in the women's pistol events. Judoka and world championDamdinsürengiin Nyamkhüü was appointed by the committee to become Mongolia's flag bearer in the opening ceremony, dressed in a traditional costume.^[1]

After failing to achieve a singleOlympic medal from Sydney, Mongolia left Athens with only a bronze from twenty-year-old judokaKhashbaataryn Tsagaanbaatar on the first day of the Games.^[2]
