The 1984 UEFA Cup Final was an association football tie played on 9 May and 23 May 1984 to determine the champion of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup. The two-legged final was contested between Anderlecht of Belgium, who were defending champions, and Tottenham Hotspur of England. Tottenham won 4–3 on penalty kicks after the tie finished 2–2 on aggregate.

In 1997, it emerged that Anderlecht's passage to the final had involved the club's chairman paying a bribe totalling £27,000 to the referee for the semi-final against Nottingham Forest. A dubious penalty was awarded to Anderlecht, whilst a Forest goal was disallowed.

In the second leg Graham Roberts captained the team in Steve Perryman's absence. Glenn Hoddle was not fit and did not play in any of the two legs.

It would take Tottenham 41 years to win their next European title, the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League.
