The 2004–05 Dallas Mavericks season was the 25th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired Jason Terry from the Atlanta Hawks, and Jerry Stackhouse along with rookie Devin Harris from the Washington Wizards. On March 19, 2005 head coach Don Nelson stepped down and former Maverick Avery Johnson took over Nelson's duties for the rest of the season. Under Johnson the Mavericks enjoyed a strong season, finishing with a 58-24 record, good for fourth place in the Western Conference.

After taking out their in-state rival Houston Rockets in the first round, the second round series against the Phoenix Suns pitted Dirk Nowitzki against former teammate Steve Nash, who was named league MVP following the season. The Mavs would eventually lose the series in six games. Following the season, Michael Finley signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs and Shawn Bradley retired.
