The 2004–05 English football season was Aston Villa's 13th season in the Premier League and their second season under the management of David O'Leary.
Villa went into the season with high hopes after finishing sixth during the 2003–04 FA Premier League season, despite an inconsistent start Villa soon begun to string wins together and threaten the top six but in the run up to Christmas Villas form dropped alarmingly and they fell away quickly, occasional wins put any relegation worry's astray as they underachieved and eventually secured a tenth-place finish.
There were debuts for Steven Davis (91), Martin Laursen (84), Carlton Cole (27), Mathieu Berson (11), and Eric Djemba-Djemba (11).
