The '''1984 Soviet Top League''' was the 15th season of the [[Soviet Top League]] and 47th since the start of the Soviet top-tier club competitions. It started on March 10 and continued until November 24.
[[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|Zenit Leningrad]] won their first league title, while the defending champion [[FC Dnipro|Dnepr Dnepropetrovsk]] finished third. The league was composed of 18 teams and [[draw limit]] was implemented this season of 10 games. There were only allowed two substitutions. Footballers who were on a team list for one team, during the season were not allowed to compete for another except for those who were demobilized from the [[Soviet Army]] (sic)<ref>[[Soviet Army]] was a major branch of the [[Soviet Armed Forces]], but in the regulations was only mentioned the Army.</ref> and returned to their home club. Those athletes transferred during the season were not allowed to play against the team for which they played earlier.
