Justine Henin-Hardenne defeated compatriot and rival Kim Clijsters in the final, 6–3, 4–6, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2004 Australian Open. It was Henin-Hardenne's third Grand Slam title, and her third win against Clijsters in a Grand Slam tournament final, after her victory at the 2003 French Open and the 2003 US Open. Clijsters would go on to win the title seven years later.

Serena Williams was the defending champion, but did not participate this year due to injury affecting her left knee.

This Grand Slam would be the last time the top two seeded players would meet in a final until the 2013 French Open, a span of 36 majors.
