The 1984 Pacific Tigers football team represented the University of the Pacific (UOP) in the 1984 NCAA Division I college football season as a member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association.[note 1]

The team was led by head coach Bob Cope, in his second year, and played their home games at Pacific Memorial Stadium[note 2] in Stockton, California. On the field, they finished the season with a record of four wins and seven losses (4–7, 2–5 PCAA). The Tigers were outscored by their opponents 209–280 over the season.

After the season was over, it was discovered that the UNLV Rebels had used multiple ineligible players during both the 1983 and 1984 seasons. As a result, Pacific's loss to UNLV turns into a forfeit win and their record is adjusted to 5–6, 3–4 PCAA.[1]
