This includes 248682 galaxy spectra, and, in combination with earlier surveys, results in 330542 redshifts across five sky regions covering ∼250 deg2. The redshift density, is the highest available over such a sustained area, has exceptionally high completeness (95 per cent to rKiDS = 19.65 mag), and is well-suited for the study of galaxy mergers, galaxy groups, and the low redshift (z < 0.25) galaxy population. DR4 includes 32 value-added tables or Data Management Units (DMUs) that provide a number of measured and derived data products including GALEX, ESO KiDS, ESO VIKING, WISE, and HerschelSpace Observatory imaging. Within this release, we provide visual morphologies for 15330 galaxies to z < 0.08, photometric redshift estimates for all 18 million objects to rKiDS ∼25 mag, and stellar velocity dispersions for 111830 galaxies. We conclude by deriving the total galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) and its sub-division by morphological class (elliptical, compact-bulge and disc, diffuse-bulge and disc, and disc only). This extends our previous measurement of the total GSMF down to 106.75 M h70-2 and we find a total stellar mass density of ρ* = (2.97 ± 0.04) * 108 M_☉ h70 Mpc-3 or Omega* = (2.17 ± 0.03) * 10-3 h70-1. We conclude that at z < 0.1, the Universe has converted 4.9 ± 0.1 per cent of the baryonic mass implied by big bang Nucleosynthesis into stars that are gravitationally bound within the galaxy population. Description: The fourth GAMA data release (DR4) provides AAT/AAOmega spectra and its properties, also spectra from related galaxy catalogues as SDSS, 2dFGRS, 6dFGS or WiggleZ. The table AATSpecAll contains one line for each GAMA AAT spectrum, listing a number of properties of the spectrum. This table provides both the Autoz redshift and the best runz redshift, where the former is generally to be preferred over the latter. If a spectrum was used in one of the combined spectra listed in AATSpecAutozComb then the redshift measured from this combined spectrum is also provided. Note that duplicate observations of the same objects are retained in this table. The table LTSpecAll lists a small number of spectra of fibre-bright targets collected by the GAMA team at the Liverpool Telescope (LT; see the LTObs DMU). The table SpecAll (gamadr4.dat) combines the tables AATSpecAll and LTSpecAll above with the tables ExternalSpecAll and ExternalzAll from the ExternalSpec DMU, thus providing a complete list of all spectra and redshifts that are available in the GAMA survey regions, including GAMA spectra and those from previous spectroscopic surveys (such as the SDSS).
