Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on May 27, 1984 .

Changes have been made to the electoral system since the last election in 1979. The 176 two-member constituencies have been replaced by 48 multi-member constituencies (a total of 448 seats), with candidates being elected through a party list system and a threshold of 8% of the vote to win a seat.

After this election, President Husni Mubarak appointed 10 more members of the People's Assembly ; one from the NDP, four from the Socialist Labor Party , one from the National Progressive Unionist Party and four Copts .
