The Sanremo Music Festival 1984 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1984), officially the 34th Italian Song Festival (34º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 34th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo between 2 and 4 February 1984 and broadcast by Rai 1. The show was presented by Pippo Baudo, who also served as the artistic director, assisted by Iris Peynado, Elisabetta Gardini, Tiziana Pini and Edy Angelillo.[1][2]

The winners of the Big Artists section were Al Bano and Romina Power with the song "Ci sarà", while Patty Pravo won the Critics Award with "Per una bambola". Eros Ramazzotti won the Newcomers section, held for the first time this year, with the song "Terra promessa".[1]

"Favola triste", sung by Silvia Conti, was disqualified because it had been published earlier. It was replaced with the song "Pomeriggio a Marrakech", sung by the duo I Trilli.[1] Loretta Goggi, which was supposed to participate with the song "Un amore grande", withdrew last minute and was replaced by Pupo, who eventually ranked fourth.[1]
