Maryland Route 84 (MD 84) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 5.75 miles (9.25 km) from MD 75 near New Windsor north to MD 832 near Frizzelburg. MD 84 provides access to Uniontown and forms part of the connection between New Windsor and Taneytown in western Carroll County. The state highway was constructed from New Windsor to Uniontown in the mid-1920s. The northernmost portion of the highway was constructed in the late 1930s as MD 630, which became a disjoint part of MD 84 in 1951. The gap in MD 84 north of Uniontown was filled in 1956.
MD 84 begins at an intersection with MD 75 (Green Valley Road) just north of Little Pipe Creek north of the town of New Windsor. The state highway heads northwest as Clear Ridge Road. At Clear Ridge Road South, which is unsigned MD 800B, MD 84 turns north through farmland and crosses Roop Branch. The state highway passes through the hamlet of Clear Ridge before entering the village of Uniontown. Within the Uniontown Historic District, MD 84 turns east onto the unincorporated town's main street at Middleburg Road, which heads west toward Middleburg. The state highway turns north onto Trevanion Road while Uniontown Road continues straight east; Uniontown Road passes the Weaver-Fox House within Uniontown and the Robert and Phyllis Scott House and the Englar-Schweigart-Rinehart Farm and Rockland Farm closer to Westminster. North of Uniontown, MD 84 turns east onto Baust Church Road while Trevanion Road continues straight past the namesake historic home on its way to Taneytown. The state highway veers north, passes through several curves, and crosses Meadow Branch. MD 84 reaches its northern terminus at MD 832 (Old Taneytown Road) in the hamlet of Tyrone west of Frizzelburg.
