These are the results of the women's épée team competition in fencing at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. A total of 33 women from nine nations competed in this event. Competition took place in the Fencing Hall at the Helliniko Olympic Complex on August 20.
The team competition was a single-elimination tournament among eight teams. Quarterfinal losers continued to play classification matches to determine final placement from first to eighth. Each team match consisted of a set of nine individual matches, comprising a full round-robin schedule among the three fencers on each team.
As there were nine teams in the competition, one preliminary match was held to reduce the field to eight teams. The losing team, South Africa, therefore had a final classification of ninth place in the tournament.
