The 1984 Toledo Rockets football team was an American football team that represented the University of Toledo in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1984 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their third season under head coach Dan Simrell, the Rockets compiled an 9–2–1 record (7–1–1 against MAC opponents), won the MAC championship, lost to L 13–30 vs. UNLV in the California Bowl (13–30), and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 187 to 164. The team subsequently gained a win in the California Bowl after UNLV forfeited all of its victories from their 1983 and 1984 seasons due to playing with ineligible players.
