Wheelchair Rugby at the 2004 Summer Paralympics was held at the Helliniko Indoor Arena.

While wheelchair rugby was designated as a mixed sport, with both men and women eligible to participate in the competition, no female athletes took part.

New Zealand's victory in the gold medal game represented the first time that a country from outside North America had won a Paralympics or World Championships title in the sport.

The wheelchair rugby competition in Athens was featured in the 2005 documentary film, Murderball.
