The 1984 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Georgia voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.

Georgia was won by incumbent President Ronald Reagan, running with Vice President George H. W. Bush, defeated former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota, running with U.S. Representative Geraldine Ferraro. Georgia weighed in for this election as 2% more Republican than the national average. The 1984 presidential election in the state of Georgia marked the first time a winning candidate won over a million votes in Georgia.

As of the 2020 presidential election^[update], this is the last election in which Randolph County, Clarke County (home to Athens and the University of Georgia), and DeKalb County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.^[1]

Georgia was one of five states, alongside West Virginia, Hawaii, Maryland and Rhode Island, that Reagan lost in 1980 but won in 1984.
