The 1983–84 Phoenix Suns season was the 16th season for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association. The Suns were in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, extending a then-franchise record. The Suns eliminated their first round opponent, Portland, three games to two before defeating the Utah Jazz and NBA leading scorer, Adrian Dantley, four games to two. In the Western Conference Finals, the Suns lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games. The team was led by head coach John MacLeod, in his 11th year with the Suns, and played all home games in Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Walter Davis led the Suns in scoring with 20 points per game. Larry Nance, who finished the season fourth in the NBA in blocks per game for the second straight year, was second in team scoring at 17.7. Davis returned to the All-Star Game, the only Sun from the season to be selected to do so. Maurice Lucas again averaged a double-double again for the Suns with 16 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Although Nance did not earn his first All-Star selection until the next season, he did participate in the NBA's first Slam Dunk Contest on All-Star Weekend. While Julius Erving ("Dr. J") provided a memorable dunk from the foul line, it was Nance who was crowned the league's first Slam Dunk champion.{{cite news|last1=Goldstein|first1=Alan|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-02-22-1993053048-story.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910202738/http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-02-22/sports/1993053048_1_dunks-nance-salt-lake|url-status=live|archive-date=September 10, 2012|newspaper=The Baltimore Sun|title=At 34, Larry Nance is the oldest of the...|date=February 22, 1993|access-date=December 16, 2010}}
