The '''2004–05 PBA Philippine Cup''', or known as the '''2004–05 [[Gran Matador Brandy]]-PBA Philippine Cup''' for [[sponsor (commercial)|sponsorship]] reasons, was the [[PBA Philippine Cup|All-Filipino Conference]] of the [[Philippine Basketball Association]]'s (PBA) [[2004-05 PBA season|2004–05 season]].

The [[Barangay Ginebra Kings]] won its first back-to-back titles with a 4–2 conquest of the [[Talk 'N Text Phone Pals]]. The series was marred by a controversial reversal of the Phone Pals' Game One victory after fielding in an ineligible [[Asi Taulava]] in the said game. Taulava was serving an indefinite suspension after being cited as one of six [[Filipino-American]] players with questionable [[citizenship]] papers.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SVg1AAAAIBAJ&sjid=kCUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1155%2C13867986|title=PBA commish gets veiled threats|work=Philippine Daily Inquirer}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=P1c1AAAAIBAJ&sjid=hyUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2378%2C19166398|title=Kings get their crown|work=Philippine Daily Inquirer}}</ref>

[[Eric Menk]] won another Best Player of the Conference Award, his third in his PBA career.
