The following lists events that happened during 1984 in Afghanistan.

Resistance against the Soviet-backed government increases sharply during the year. Afghanistan continues to be dependent on the USSR for military aid, food supplies, fuel, and even medical treatment for its leaders. Afghanistan's relations with the West remain strained, and its relations with Asian nations, with the exception of India, show no visible improvement. After five years of Soviet military presence, the nation is slowly but steadily becoming a satellite of Moscow.
