The 1985 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Essendon Football Club and Hawthorn Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 28 September 1985. It was the the 89th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1985 VFL season. The match, attended by 100,042 spectators, was won by Essendon by a margin of 78 points, marking that club's 14th premiership victory.
It was the third consecutive year in which the two clubs met each other in the premiership decider, and on this occasion it was Essendon which was victorious, claiming back-to-back flags. The Grand Final is often remembered for a brawl which broke out soon after the opening bounce. It was also Hawthorn captain Leigh Matthews' last game of football but it was his forward partner, Dermott Brereton, who starred for the Hawks with eight goals, the most ever in a losing Grand Final side (a record that stood until Gary Ablett's nine goals in Geelong's losing 1989 VFL Grand Final against Hawthorn). Paul Salmon kicked six goals for Essendon and Roger Merrett five. The Bombers scored a record 69 points in the final quarter.
The Norm Smith Medal was awarded to Essendon's Simon Madden for being judged the best player afield.
