Defending champion John McEnroe defeated Jimmy Connors in the final, 6–1, 6–1, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1984 Wimbledon Championships.

The final was for a long time referred to as the greatest display in the history of tennis;[2] it lasted only 80 minutes and McEnroe made just four unforced errors during the entire match (none in the first set).

This tournament marked the first major appearance of future world No.

Yannick Noah and José Luis Clerc withdrew due to injury and illness respectively.

They were replaced in the draw by Qualifier Paul Annacone and Lucky loser Claudio Mezzadri respectively.
