LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

  Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund,Inc.,covering the 12-month period from January 1,2004,through December 31, 2004. Inside, you’ll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during the reporting period, including a discussion with the fund’s portfolio manager,Thomas Durante, CFA.

2004 represented the second consecutive year of positive stock market performance. Unlike the 2003 rally, however, in which most stocks rose as general business conditions improved, 2004’s market performance largely reflected the strengths and weaknesses of individual companies and industries. As a result, fundamental research and professional judgment became more important determinants of mutual fund performance in 2004.

What’s ahead for stocks in 2005? No one knows for certain.Positive influences remain in place, including moderately expanding U.S. and global economies and low inflation. Nonetheless, a number of risks — such as rising short-term interest rates, currency fluctuations and generally slowing corporate earnings — could threaten the market environment.

As always, we urge our shareholders to view the stock market from a long-term perspective, measured in years rather than weeks or months. One of the best ways to ensure a long-term perspective is to establish an investment plan with the help of your financial advisor, and review it periodically to track your progress toward your financial goals.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Thomas Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. produced total returns of 10.64% for its Initial shares and 10.35% for its Service shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a total return of 10.88% for the same period.2,3

The U.S. stock market was sluggish during much of 2004, due in large part to investors’ concerns regarding rising interest rates, surging energy prices, ongoing geopolitical instability and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election. In mid-October, however, investor sentiment began to improve, and the stock market rebounded over the remainder of the year. The difference between the fund’s and S&P 500 Index’s returns was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses that are not reflected in the performance of the S&P 500 Index.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index. To pursue this goal, the fund generally invests in all 500 stocks in proportion to their weightings in the S&P 500 Index. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 sectors and is dominated by large-cap, blue-chip stocks which, when combined, cover nearly 75% of the total U.S. market capitalization.

However,it is important to note that the S&P 500 Index is not composed of the 500 largest companies; rather, it is designed to capture the returns of many different sectors of the U.S. economy. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization. Overall, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones.The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. uses a passive management approach; all investment decisions are made based on the fund’s objective, which is to seek to match the performance of the S&P 500 Index.The fund does not attempt to manage market volatility.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

During much of the reporting period, stock prices rose only modestly, held back by investors’ concerns regarding higher interest rates, potential inflationary pressures and the insurgency in Iraq. In the fall, however, oil prices began to moderate and the economy showed signs of emerging from its summertime “soft patch.” In addition, the end of a contentious presidential election campaign lifted a degree of uncertainty, and the stock market rallied through year-end. As a result, all 10 of S&P 500 Index’s economic sectors produced absolute positive returns for the year.

With the exception of the energy sector, which rose as a group as oil prices reached all-time highs, 2004 saw few sector-wide performance trends. Instead, individual stocks tended to respond to company-specific influences. For example, while safety-related issues affecting arthritis drugs drove down the stock prices of Merck & Co. and Pfizer, other large pharmaceutical companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, gained value. Similarly, in the financials sector, legal and regulatory challenges facing insurance and mutual fund provider Marsh & McLennan Cos.did not significantly affect the stocks of other financial services companies.

In fact, because the financials sector constitutes a larger percentage of the S&P 500 Index than any other industry group, financial stocks made the largest contribution to the fund’s return during the reporting period. Winners included Bank of America, Wachovia, Franklin Resources and Lehman Brothers Holdings.

Energy stocks also contributed strongly to the fund’s 2004 performance. Rising global demand from overseas markets, most notably China, helped drive energy prices higher, benefiting many of the energy companies in the S&P 500 Index. Integrated oil companies Exxon Mobil and ChevronTexaco, producer and distributor Duke Energy and refiners Valero Energy and ConocoPhillips led the sector’s performance.

4

Utilities stocks also fared relatively well over the reporting period, with the largest gains posted by Edison International,TXU and Exelon.

On the other hand,the health care sector posted relatively meager returns overall as respectable performance among medical services and equipment companies was offset by the difficulties encountered by pharmaceutical giants Merck & Co. and Pfizer. The information technology group also lagged the S&P 500 Index’s return overall when weakness in semiconductor companies weighed heavily on performance.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

As an index fund, our strategy is to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2004, the percentage of the fund’s assets invested in each industry closely approximated its representation in the S&P 500 Index. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of broadly diversified index funds is that they can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

    The fund is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable 
    annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the fund 
    directly.A variable annuity is an insurance contract issued by an insurance company that enables 
    investors to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term goals.The 
    investment objective and policies of Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. made available through insurance 
    products may be similar to other funds/portfolios managed or advised by Dreyfus. However, the 
    investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and may not be comparable to, those of 
    any other Dreyfus fund/portfolio. 
1    Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no 
    guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, 
    fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.The fund’s performance does not 
    reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in 
    variable insurance contracts, which will reduce returns. Return figures provided reflect the absorption 
    of fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in which shareholders are 
    given at least 180 days’ notice, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had 
    these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

In addition, the blended performance figures have not been adjusted to reflect the higher operating expenses of the Service shares. If these expenses had been reflected, the blended performance figures would have been lower.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, that is intended to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance companies. The fund’s investment objective is to match the total return of the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index.The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s manager and Mellon Equity Associates (“Mellon Equity”), an affiliate of Dreyfus, serves as the fund’s index manager. Dreyfus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 400 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Initial shares (250 million shares authorized) and Service shares (150 million shares authorized). Initial shares are subject to a shareholder services fee and Service shares are subject to a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution plan and shareholder services plan and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is avail-able.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is recognized on the accrual basis.

32

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. At originations, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan will be maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus.The fund will be entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.

The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period.This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period.The value of the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of a counter party default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

the fund seeks to assert its rights. Dreyfus, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with incomes tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

At December 31, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: accumulated, capital losses $352,175,625 and unrealized appreciation $934,109,141. In addition, the fund had $6,897,849 of capital losses realized after October 31, 2004 which were deferred for tax purposes to the first day of the following fiscal year.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2004. If not applied, $309,578,875 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2010, $27,409,843 expires in fiscal 2011 and $15,186,907 expires in fiscal 2012.

34

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, were as follows: ordinary income $72,058,723 and $51,178,951 and return of capital $986,369 and $0, respectively.

During the period ended December 31, 2004, as a result of permanent book to tax differences primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $481,043, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $476,155 and increased paid-in capital by $4,888. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended December 31, 2004, was approximately $305,500 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 2.07% .

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Index Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .245 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has agreed to pay Mellon Equity a monthly index-management fee at the annual rate of .095 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Dreyfus has undertaken from January 1, 2004 until such time as they give shareholders at least 180 days notice to the contrary that if

The Fund 35


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

any full fiscal year the fund’s aggregate expenses exclusive of brokerage commissions, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, transaction fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .40 of 1% of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payments to be made to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear, such excess expense. During the period ended December 31, 2004, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the undertaking.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Service shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares, for servicing and/or maintaining Service shares shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing for Service shares. The Plan provides payments to be made at an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Service shares average daily net assets. The Distributor may make payments to Participating Insurance Companies and brokers and dealers acting as principal underwriter for their variable insurance products.The fees payable under the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended December 31, 2004, Service shares were charged $951,200 pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Initial shares reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Initial shares’ average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining Initial shares shareholder accounts. During the period ended December 31, 2004, Initial shares were charged $14,807 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended December 31, 2004, the fund was charged $1,089 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $896,060, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $103,634, shareholder services plan fees $1,000 and transfer agency per account fees $190.

36

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended December 31, 2004, amounted to $221,595,426 and $153,834,661, respectively.

The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market.The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the close of each day’s trading.Typically, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents.The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at December 31, 2004 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At December 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $3,444,709,989; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $934,109,141, consisting of $1,418,817,265 gross unrealized appreciation and $484,708,124 gross unrealized depreciation.The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation in attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

NOTE 5—Legal Matters:

In early 2004, two purported class and derivative actions were filed against Mellon Financial, Mellon Bank, N.A., Dreyfus, Founders Asset Management LLC, and certain directors of the Dreyfus Funds and the

The Fund 37


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Dreyfus Founders Funds (together, the “Funds”). In September 2004, plaintiffs served a Consolidated Amended Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on behalf of a purported class of all persons who acquired interests in any of the Funds between January 30, 1999 and November 17, 2003, and derivatively on behalf of the Funds. The Amended Complaint in the newly styled In re Dreyfus Mutual Funds Fee Litigation also named the Distributor, Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. and two additional Fund directors as defendants and alleges violations of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law and common-law claims. Plaintiffs seek to recover allegedly improper and excessive Rule 12b-1 and advisory fees allegedly charged to the Funds for marketing and distribution services. More specifically, plaintiffs claim, among other things, that 12b-1 fees and directed brokerage were improperly used to pay brokers to recommend the Funds over other funds, and that such payments were not disclosed to investors. In addition, plaintiffs assert that economies of scale and soft-dollar benefits were not passed on to the Funds. Plaintiffs further allege that 12b-1 fees were improperly charged to certain of the Funds that were closed to new investors.The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the advisory contracts, and an accounting and restitution of any unlawful fees, as well as an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. As noted, some of the claims in this litigation are asserted derivatively on behalf of the Funds that have been named as nominal defendants. With respect to such derivative claims, no relief is sought against the Funds. Dreyfus believes the allegations to be totally without merit and intends to defend the action vig-orously.Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Amended Complaint on November 12, 2004, and those motions are pending.

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the defendants in the future. Neither Dreyfus nor the Funds believe that any of the pending actions will have a material adverse effect on the Funds or Dreyfus’ ability to perform its contract with the Funds.
