The 1984 Senator Windows Professional Snooker League was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that was played from November 1983 to April 1984.

John Virgo topped the table and won the tournament. Kirk Stevens withdrew during the tournament, leaving some matches unplayed. Due to financial issues, the tournament was not played again until the format was revived in 1987 by Matchroom Sport.[1]

Top four qualified for the play-offs. If points were level then most draws, then most frames won determined their positions. If two players had an identical record then the result in their match determined their positions. If that ended 4–4 then the player who got to four first was higher. Stevens did not complete his matches and was therefore ranked last.
