The 1984 U.S. Open was the 84th U.S. Open. The golf tournament was played between June 14-18, 1984, at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. Fuzzy Zoeller defeated Greg Norman in an 18-hole playoff to win his first U.S. Open title and second major championship.

Hale Irwin, who won the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, held the lead after each of the first three rounds. He faded in the final round, however, shooting a 79 to finish in 6th place. With Irwin's collapse, the tournament became a duel between Fuzzy Zoeller and Greg Norman. Zoeller led Norman by three shots heading to the back-nine, but Norman managed to draw level by the time he reached 18. His approach shot on the last sailed into the grandstand, but he managed to save par by holing a 45-foot putt. Zoeller, standing on the 18th fairway, waved a white towel as a playful sign of surrender, then proceeded to par the hole himself to force a playoff. The two finished at 276, five shots clear of the rest of the field. The playoff proved to be no contest. Norman double-bogeyed the 2nd to fall three-strokes behind, and Zoeller carried a five-shot lead to the back-nine. He finished with a 67, eight shots better than Norman. This time on 18, it was Norman who waved a white towel in mock surrender.

Arnold Palmer failed to qualify for this U.S. Open, snapping a streak of 31 consecutive Opens played. Jim Thorpe finished in a tie for 4th place, becoming the first African-American to place in the Top 10 at the U.S. Open since John Shippen in 1902.
