The 2004 Stratford-on-Avon District Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Stratford-on-Avon District Council in Warwickshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.^[1]

After the election, the composition of the council was

• Conservative 30
• Liberal Democrat 20
• Independent 3^[2]

19 of the 53 seats on the council were contested in the election.^[3] The Conservatives were defending 11 of the seats and this was seen as giving the Liberal Democrats a chance at taking over control of the council,^[3] which had a one-seat Conservative majority before the election.^[4] Meanwhile, Labour had their only remaining council seat up for election in Southam ward, leading to the possibility that they could fail to be represented on the council after the election.^[3]

The results saw the Conservatives strengthen their majority on the council up to 7 seats.^[5] They gained 4 seats in Harbury, Southam, Stratford Guild and Hathaway and Wellesbourne wards and only suffered 1 loss to the Liberal Democrats in Studley.^[5] While the Liberal Democrats lost ground as a result, the defeat in Southam meant Labour was no longer represented on the council.^[6][7]

The Conservatives said they were pleased with the results, that saw them win almost half of the vote, and which they put down to a strong positive campaign.^[8] Overall turnout in the election was higher than the national average at 43.5%.^[9]
