The 1984 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held May 1–2, 1984, at the Omni Park Central Hotel in New York City, New York. No teams elected to claim any players in the regular supplemental draft that year. However, the NFL did have a special supplemental draft for college seniors who had already signed with the United States Football League or Canadian Football League on June 5, 1984.

The 1984 draft was the first in ten years in which a quarterback was not selected in the first round. It is also one of three NFL drafts to not produce any inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, along with the 1943 and 1992 drafts.
