The 1984 French Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Dijon-Prenois near Dijon on 20 May 1984. It was race 5 of 16 in the 1984 FIA Formula One World Championship.
This was the final Formula One race to be held at the 3.801 km (2.362 mi) Dijon-Prenois circuit, as it was deemed too short by governing body FISA. Fittingly in France, Frenchman Patrick Tambay, in the all-French team (French car, French engine, French tyres and French fuel) scored the Equipe Renault team's last pole position until their return to the sport in 2002.
Double World Champion Niki Lauda won the race in his McLaren-TAG. Tambay finished second in his Renault RE50, with the Lotus-Renault of Nigel Mansell third. Lauda's team-mate and World Championship leader, Alain Prost, could only manage seventh after he was forced to pit to change a loose wheel.
