Parliamentary elections were held in Niger on 4 December 2004 alongside simultaneous presidential elections. 105 members were elected in 8 multi-member constituencies using the party-list proportional representation system. The remaining 8 members were elected in special single-member constituencies to ensure the representation of national minority communities.

The result was a victory for the National Movement for the Development of Society, which won 47 of the 113 seats in the National Assembly. The party's presidential candidate, Tandja Mamadou, was also victorious in the presidential election.
