The Men's Sprint Tandem B1-3 cycling competition at the 2004 Summer Paralympics was held in the Olympic Velodrome from 19–21 September at the Olympic Velodrome.

The event was won by Kieran Modra and his sighted pilot David Short, representing  Australia. Second on the day were Vladislav Janovjak and Juraj Petrovic of  Slovakia, but they were disqualified and their silver medals forfeited after Petrovic tested positive for the banned glucocorticosteroid, methylprednisolone. This was the first time in the Paralympic Games that a guide or pilot returned a positive sample in an anti-doping test.
