The individual dressage event, part of the equestrian program at the 2004 Summer Olympics, was held from 19 August to 25 August 2004 at the Olympic Equestrian Centre on the outskirts of Markópoulo, in the Attica region of Greece. Like all other equestrian events, the dressage competition was mixed gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division. 53 horse and rider pairs were entered.
Grand Prix Freestyle
The final round of dressage competition was the Grand Prix Freestyle Test. Fifteen pairs competed in this round, in which they designed their own program of movements set to music. They were judged on both execution of the movements (technical) and how well their performance matched the music (artistic).

Team Dressage
10 teams, each consisting of four horse and rider pairs, entered the contest. The team event used the points from the first round of competition. 40 of the 52 pairs that competed in the individual event were members of a team. Each team consisted of four pairs of horse and rider. The scores of the top three pairs from each team were averaged to get the team score.
