The 2004 Chinese Grand Prix (officially the 2004 Formula 1 Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 26 September 2004 at the Shanghai International Circuit. It was Race 16 of 18 in the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship and was the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix.
2004 F1 World Championship, a season dominated by Michael Schumacher and Ferrari, who had already secured both championships prior to this race. The event was also notable as the first F1 race where radio conversations between teams and drivers were broadcast to television viewers.

The 56-lap race was won by Rubens Barrichello for the Ferrari team, from a pole position start. Jenson Button finished second for the BAR team, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a McLaren. It was Barrichello's last win for Ferrari and his last until the 2009 European Grand Prix for Brawn GP.
