The 1884 French Military Mission to Japan was the third French military mission to that country and consisted in 5 men.

It followed two earlier missions, the first French Military Mission to Japan (1867-1868), and the second French Military Mission to Japan (1872-1880), which had a considerable role in shaping the new Imperial Japanese Army.

From 1886, Japan shifted to Germany as a military example, and started to invited German missions instead.

France would gain considerable with the Imperial Japanese Navy instead, with the despatch of the engineer Louis-Émile Bertin.
