Parliamentary elections were held in
Egypt on 27 May 1984. Since the
last election in 1979, changes had been made to the electoral system. The 176 two-member constituencies were replaced by 48 multi-member constituencies (totalling 448 seats), with candidates elected on a party list system, with a party needing over 8% of the vote to win a seat.

The result was a victory for the ruling
National Democratic Party, which won 390 of the 448 seats. The only other party to win seats was the
New Wafd Party. Following the election, President
Hosni Mubarak appointed a further 10 members to the Assembly; one from the NDP, four from the
Socialist Labour Party, one from the
National Progressive Unionist Party and four
Copts. Voter turnout was 43.1%.
