The men's ice hockey tournament at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, was the 15th Olympic Championship. The Soviet Union won its sixth gold medal, tying Canada for most in Olympic ice hockey at that point (Canada won its ninth in 2014). Games were held mostly in the arena portion of the Olympic Hall Zetra, with some played in the arena portion of the Skenderija Olympic Hall.

The IIHF did not run a championship in Olympic years at this time. Nations that did not participate in the Sarejevo Olympics were invited to compete in the Thayer Tutt Trophy.

Qualification

The final standings of the 1983 championships were used to establish qualification. All pool 'A' teams were included however the German Democratic Republic declined to send a team. The host Yugoslavians as well as the top pool 'B' teams were added. A play-off between the fourth placed pool 'B' team and the pool 'C' champion was used to determine the final place at the Olympics.
