The 1985–86 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 49th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship began on 25 August 1985 and ended on 16 March 1986.
St. Martin's were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being defeated by Glenmore in the semi-final of the Kilkenny Championship.
On 16 March 1986, Kilruane MacDonaghs won the championship after a 1-15 to 2-10 defeat of Buffers Alley in the final at Croke Park. It remains their only All-Ireland triumph.
