1984 Moray District Council election

Elections to Moray District Council were held on 3 May 1984, on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the fourth election to the district council following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.

The election used the 18 wards created by the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1980. Each ward elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.

Moray remained a non-partisan district. The first Labour councillor to ever sit on the Moray District Council was elected at this election.
