Rankings from AP Poll

The 1983–84 Washington Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Washington for the 1983–84 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Led by thirteenth-year head coach Marv Harshman, the Huskies were members of the Pacific-10 Conference and played their home games on campus at Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle, Washington.

The Huskies were 22–6 overall in the regular season and 15–3 in conference play, co-champions with Oregon State,[2][3] and ranked fifteenth in both polls.[4] There was no conference tournament this season; it debuted three years later. Nearing the end of the regular season in late February, Harshman's contract was extended for one more year.[5]

Washington made the NCAA tournament for the first time in eight years and was seeded sixth in the West regional of the 53-team field, with the first two rounds at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman.[6][7][8] The Huskies defeated Nevada and #14 Duke to advance to the Sweet Sixteen,[9][10][11] but fell to upstart Dayton at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles to finish at 24–7 (.774).[12][13]

This year's Final Four was in Seattle at the Kingdome.[14]
