These are the Billboard Videocassette Top 40 number-one titles of 1984.

That year, the landmark exercise title Jane Fonda's Workout was the #1 seller on the Year-End video chart for the second year in a row, and topped weekly charts for eleven weeks during the year. Meanwhile, Paramount's box-office hit Raiders of the Lost Ark, which came to cassette on November 30, 1983 at the sell-through price of $39.95, reached #2 on the Year-End chart and topped the weekly chart eight times.

Also, starting with the October 13 issue, the name of the chart changed from the Videocassette Top 40 to Top Videocassettes (Sales).
