The third election to Carmarthenshire County Council in Wales was held in May 2004. It was preceded by the 1999 election and followed by the 2008 election. As in previous elections, the Independent councillors had the largest number of seats. This resulted in a coalition between Independent and Labour Councillors for the next four years.
