The 1884 Wisconsin lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on 4 November 1884 in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. Incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Sam Fifield defeated Democratic nominee A. C. Parkinson, Prohibition nominee A. A. Kelly and Greenback nominee and former member of the Wisconsin State Assembly Milan Ford. This was the first Wisconsin lieutenant gubernatorial election held following a constitutional amendment in 1882, which moved the state’s elections from odd to even-numbered years.
