The 1984 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 58th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 17 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was St. Colmcille's first year ever in this grade as they were promoted from the J.F.C. after claiming the 1983 Meath Junior Football Championship title. It was also just their 14th year in existence after the two clubs Stars of the Sea and Shallon amalgamated in 1971.

On 30 September 1984, Slane claimed their 3rd Intermediate championship title when they defeated St. Colmcille's 0–8 to 0–5 in the final at Pairc Tailteann.
