The 1984 United States presidential election in Mississippi took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Mississippi voters chose 7 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the President and Vice President of the United States.

Mississippi was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the Vice-Presidency.

The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Mississippi, with over 99% of the electorate voting only either Democratic or Republican. The vast majority of counties in Mississippi voted in majority for Reagan, a particularly strong turn out, even in this typically conservative-leaning state. A notable exception is the re-occurring Democratic stronghold of counties bordering the Mississippi River itself, which tended to vote Democratic during this time.
