你可以把一个中间件放在最后一个位置，它会抛出一个NotFound错误， 甚至直接渲染404页面:

app.use(function(req,res){
    res.status(404).render('404.jade');
});

上面的答案很好，但其中一半的答案不会返回404作为HTTP状态代码，而另一半答案则不能呈现自定义模板。在Expressjs中拥有自定义错误页面(404)的最佳方法是

app.use(function(req, res, next){
    res.status(404).render('404_error_template', {title: "Sorry, page not found"});
});

将此代码放在所有URL映射的末尾。

我在定义所有路由后所做的是捕捉潜在的404并转发到错误处理程序，如下所示:

    const httpError = require('http-errors');

    ...

    // API router
    app.use('/api/', routes);
    
    // catch 404 and forward to error handler
    app.use((req, res, next) => {
      const err = new httpError(404)
      return next(err);
    });

    module.exports = app;

https://github.com/robrighter/node-boilerplate/blob/master/templates/app/server.js

这就是node-boilerplate所做的。

// Add this middleware
// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
 // set locals, only providing error in development
   res.locals.message = err.message;
   res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

 // render the error page
   res.status(err.status || 500);
   res.render('error');
  });

我发现这个例子很有帮助:

https://github.com/visionmedia/express/blob/master/examples/error-pages/index.js

所以，它实际上是这一部分:

// "app.router" positions our routes
// above the middleware defined below,
// this means that Express will attempt
// to match & call routes _before_ continuing
// on, at which point we assume it's a 404 because
// no route has handled the request.

app.use(app.router);

// Since this is the last non-error-handling
// middleware use()d, we assume 404, as nothing else
// responded.

// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound
// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound -H "Accept: application/json"
// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound -H "Accept: text/plain"

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.status(404);

  // respond with html page
  if (req.accepts('html')) {
    res.render('404', { url: req.url });
    return;
  }

  // respond with json
  if (req.accepts('json')) {
    res.json({ error: 'Not found' });
    return;
  }

  // default to plain-text. send()
  res.type('txt').send('Not found');
});
