An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 4 November 1884, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 8 of the corporation's 25 seats were up for election.
This election was the first time labour-affiliated candidates won seats in Aberdeen's municipal elections. The candidates, James Forbes and George Maconnachie, were supported by the Aberdeen United Trades Council. The primary question at hand was the rates of councillors' salaries, and public feelings on the matter were clear as all retiring councillors but one were not re-elected.
