The 2004 National Midget Championship was Canada's 26th annual national midget 'AAA' hockey championship, played April 18–25, 2004 at Kenora, Ontario. The Brandon Wheat Kings defeated the Riverains du Collège Charles-Lemoyne 2-1 in overtime to win their first and only national title. It also marked the first time that a Manitoba team was the national midget champion.
This was the only season that Hockey Canada did not have a sponsor for the national midget championship. From 1979 to 2003, it was known as the Air Canada Cup. Later in 2004, a new sponsor would be found and the midget championship would be renamed the Telus Cup.
