The 1984 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was played February 25 to March 3, 1984 at the Charlottetown Forum in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The total attendance for the week was a then-record 24,131.

Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Connie Laliberte won the event as they defeated two-time defending champion Nova Scotia in the final 5–4. Manitoba advanced to the final after beating British Columbia in the semifinal 5–4. This was Manitoba's third championship overall and the first of three championships skipped by Laliberte. The Laliberte rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1984 World Women's Curling Championship held in Perth, Scotland, which they also won.

The record for most stolen ends by a team in one game of five set in was matched twice during the event. Nova Scotia was the first to do this in Draw 7 as they stole the first five ends of their game against Prince Edward Island in an 8–1 victory. Nova Scotia would fall victim to the same feat two draws later when Saskatchewan stole the second through sixth ends en route to an 8–2 victory.[2]
