The 1983–84 season was the 55th season of competitive football played by Hereford United Football Club and their 12th in the Football League. The club competed in Division Four, as well as the Milk Cup, FA Cup, Welsh Cup and Associate Members' Cup.
Summary Hereford made a good start to the season, going top of the division following a 1–0 win at Tranmere Rovers, but only two wins followed in the next 22 matches and they tumbled down the table towards another seemingly inevitable re-election battle.
A 2–1 win over Swindon Town was the catalyst for a complete reversal in form as Hereford went unbeaten in 14 matches, including a sequence of five consecutive wins (their best as a league club at the time) in which 18 goals were scored and only two conceded. They ended the season in 11th place, signing off with a 2–1 win over newly-crowned champions York City.
