The men's +80 kg  competition in taekwondo at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens took place on August 29 at the Faliro Coastal Zone Olympic Complex.

South Korean taekwondo jin and 1999 world champion Moon Dae-sung unleashed a wicked roundhouse kick to knock out two-meter tall fighter and home favorite Alexandros Nikolaidis of Greece from the mat for an Olympic gold just a minute into the bout. Meanwhile, France's Pascal Gentil opened up a four-point gap over Jordan's Ibrahim Kamal, and defeated him 6–2 to repeat his bronze medal victory from Sydney four years earlier.

Competition format
