De Siebel Si 204 was een klein tweemotorig transport- en trainingsvliegtuig ontwikkeld in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het was gebaseerd op de Fh 104 Hallore. Oorspronkelijk ontworpen als reactie op een ontwikkelingsorder van het Ministerie van Luchtvaart voor een klein civiel transportvliegtuig in 1938, werd het uiteindelijk geproduceerd voor de Luftwaffe.
