The men's single sculls competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics took place at Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre, Greece. The event was held from 14 to 21 August and was one of six events for male competitors in Rowing at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. There were 29 competitors from 29 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event.
Six of the 24 single scullers from the 2000 Games returned: bronze medallist Marcel Hacker of Germany, fifth-place finisher Ivo Yanakiev of Bulgaria, sixth-place finisher Jüri Jaanson of Estonia, eleventh-place finisher Václav Chalupa of the Czech Republic, twelfth-place finisher Ali Ibrahim of Egypt, and thirteenth-place finisher Anderson Nocetti of Brazil. Jaanson, Chalupa, and Ibrahim had also competed in 1996; Chalupa had won a silver medal in 1992, with Jaanson finishing fifth that year. Hacker and Olaf Tufte were favored, with defending champion Rob Waddell of New Zealand and runner-up Xeno Müller of Switzerland retired and Iztok Čop of Slovenia competing only in the double sculls. Hacker, Tufte, Čop, and Chalupa had taken all 12 of the World Championships medals since the last Games, with Tufte winning in 2001 and 2003 and Hacker in 2002.
During the first round six quarterfinal heats, each with 4 or 5 boats, were held. The winning boat in each heat advanced to the A/B/C semifinals, while all others were relegated to the repechages.
The repechages offered the rowers another chance to qualify for the top semifinals. Placing in the repechages determined which semifinal the boat would race in. Six heats were held, with 3 or 4 boats each. The top two boats in each repechage moved on to the A/B/C semifinals, with the bottom three boats going to the D/E semifinals (and out of medal contention).
Five semifinals were held: three of the A/B/C semifinals and two of the D/E semifinals. For each A/B/C semifinal race, the top two boats advanced to the A final to compete for medals. The next two boats (3rd and 4th in each semifinal) went to the B final. The last two boats went to the C final. For the D/E semifinals, the top three boats in each semifinal went to the D final while the remaining boats went to the E final.
The fourth and final round was the finals. Each final determined a set of rankings. The A final determined the medals, along with the rest of the places through 6th. The B final gave rankings from 7th to 12th, the C from 13th to 18th, and so on. Thus, to win a medal rowers had to finish in either the top one of their quarterfinal or top two of their repechage heat and top two of their A/B/C semifinal to reach the A final.

Semifinals
The semifinals were conducted on 18 August. The A, B, and C semifinals were for those rowers who still had a chance at medaling, and the top two in each of those semifinals moved on to the A final (top 6 places), the next two to the B final (places 7–12), and the bottom two in each to the C final (13–18). The D and E semifinals were consolation semis and the rowers in them had already been eliminated from medal contention; the top three in each moved to the D final (places 19–24) and the rest moved to E final (places 25–29).
Three of the four favored scullers, Václav Chalupa, Jüri Jaanson and Olaf Tufte, all qualified relatively easily for the finals from Semis A, B and C, respectively. But in a major surprise, Marcel Hacker, who was in Semi B with Tufte, finished third and failed to qualify. Hacker was the returning bronze medallist, a former World Champion, and holder of the World's best time. Ivo Yanakiev, who finished second in Semi B, went on to win a bronze medal.

Finals
Finals were contested on 19 August, except for the medal final on 21 August.
In the finals, Václav Chalupa followed by Fernandez and Maeyens pulled out to an early lead. At the 1000 meter mark (halfway), Olaf Tufte grabbed a small lead over Chalupa with Jüri Jaanson a close third. With 500 meters to go, Jaanson took a small lead over Tufte. Two seconds back (one length), Chalupa held a small lead for third over Ivo Yanakiev who had been slowly moving up through the field. In the final 500 meters, Tufte regained the lead and pulled away to win by a length over Jaanson. Meanwhile, Yanakiev grabbed third over Chalupa who faded to fifth place.
