1984 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles
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; it lasted only 80 minutes and McEnroe made just four unforced errors during the entire match (none in the first set). This was the first major appearance for future six-time champion Boris Becker; he would go on to win the title the following year.
