The 1984 England rugby union tour of South Africa was a series of seven matches played by the England national rugby union team in South Africa in May and June 1984.

England played seven games, including two test matches against the South Africa national rugby union team.

England's decision to take part in the tour drew public criticism, and was the subject of covert political pressure, partly due to the prevailing apartheid system in South Africa.

[1] Although only Ralph Knibbs of Bristol made opposition to apartheid his reason,[2] many other top players were also unable to tour,[3] and the squad was relatively inexperienced.

10 of the 26 players were uncapped before the tour and 7 gained their first caps in South Africa.
