Orange Bowl champion The 1984 Washington Huskies football team was an American football team that represented the University of Washington during the 1984 NCAA Division I-A football season. In its tenth season under head coach Don James, the team compiled an 11–1 record, was ranked a close second in the two major polls, and outscored its opponents 352 to 145.

Washington upset Michigan in Ann Arbor in September, and had climbed up to the top ranking, but fell to #14 USC in Los Angeles on November 10. The Huskies rebounded the next week to win the Apple Cup over Washington State in Pullman and finished the regular season at 10–1.

Washington defeated second-ranked Oklahoma 28–17 in the Orange Bowl. NCAA-designated major selectors Berryman (QPRS), Football News, and National Championship Foundation (NCF), each selected Washington as their national champion, with NCF splitting its selection with the BYU Cougars. However, the final AP and Coaches polls both declared the BYU Cougars as national champions.

Ron Holmes was selected as the team's most valuable player. Jim Rodgers was selected for the Guy Flaherty Most Inspirational award. Dan Eernissee, Danny Greene, Tim Meamber, and Rodgers were the team captains.
