The flyweight was the second lightest freestyle wrestling weight class held as part of the wrestling programme at the 1904 Summer Olympics. It included wrestlers weighing 105 to 115 pounds (47.6 to 52.2 kg). It was the first time the event, like all other freestyle wrestling events, was held in Olympic competition. Three wrestlers competed.
