The 1985 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 54th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament for boys under the age of 18.
Dublin entered the championship as defending champions, however, they were defeated in the Leinster Championship.
On 22 September 1985, Mayo won the championship following a 3–3 to 0–9 defeat of Cork in the All-Ireland final. This was their sixth All-Ireland title overall and their first in seven championship seasons.{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0928/238817-minor_foot_roh/|title=All-Ireland Minor Football Championship: Roll Of Honour|publisher=RTÉ Sport|accessdate=20 September 2011|date=19 November 2012}}
