Namibia at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Namibia competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. This was the nation's fourth consecutive appearance at the Olympics.

Namibian National Olympic Committee sent a total of eight athletes to the Games, seven men and one woman, to compete in 5 sports. Three of them had previously competed in Sydney, including pistol shooter Friedhelm Sack and mountain biker Mannie Heymans. Sprinter and four-time Olympic silver medalist Frankie Fredericks sought his official comeback to the Games after an eight-year absence with the hopes of adding another medal to his career hardware. Flyweight boxer Paulus Ambunda was appointed by the committee to become the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony.

Namibia, however, failed to win a single Olympic medal for the second consecutive time since the previous Games. Being a top favorite for the Namibian team, Fredericks fell short of claiming his third medal in the 200 metres, and thereby missed a chance to climb into the podium on his final Olympic appearance. On August 29, 2004, at the time of the closing ceremony, Fredericks was elected to the IOC Athletes' Commission, along with three other athletes.
