The men's 1 kilometre time trial in Cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics was a time trial race in which each of the seventeen cyclists attempted to set the fastest time for four laps (1 kilometre) of the track.

In a fascinating event the Olympic Record was broken four times, the final time by Chris Hoy of Great Britain retaining the title for his country that Jason Queally had won in Sydney four years previously.
