The 1985 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 55th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Cork entered the championship as the defending champions but lost to Kerry in the opening round of the Munster Championship.[1]

The All-Ireland final was played in Tuam on 6 October 1985 between Galway and Warwickshire, in what was the first ever meeting in a final between the two counties. Galway won the match by twenty-five points to claim their first title at the grade since 1965 and a fourth overall.
