Elections to the Moray District Council took place on 3 May 1984, alongside elections to the councils of Scotland's 53 other districts. There were 18 wards, which each elected a single member using the first-past-the-post voting system. The Independent grouping on the council remained significant due to a large number of wards having members being elected unopposed.[1]

The first Labour councillor to ever sit on the Moray District Council was elected at this election.[2]
