The 2004 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 2, 2004, and was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. Voters chose seven representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Oregon was won by Democratic nominee John Kerry by a 4.2% margin of victory. Prior to the election, news organizations considered the state a tossup or leaning Kerry. A moderate amount of campaigning took place here, as Kerry won every poll after October 14, and each with between 47% to 53% of the vote. Despite the state having been very competitive in 2000, Oregon is a consistent blue state that a Republican has not won in a presidential election since 1984. Kerry won this state with a larger margin, indicating Oregon's Democratic trend. As of the 2016 presidential election^[update], this is the last election in which Clackamas County voted for the Republican candidate.

There were 12 news organizations who made state-by-state predictions of the election. Here are their last predictions before election day.

Kerry won most pre-election polling. The final 3 poll average had Kerry leading 50% to 45%.

Bush raised $1,497,451. Kerry raised $1,937,916.
