The 1985 NCAA Division I lacrosse tournament was the 15th annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the team champion of men's college lacrosse among its Division I programs, held at the end of the 1985 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse season .
In a re-match of the previous two years' finals, defending champions Johns Hopkins defeated Syracuse in the championship game, 11–4. Johns Hopkins finished the season with 13-1, with its lone loss coming to #13 North Carolina. This was Don Zimmerman's second straight national title as head coach.
The championship game was played at Brown Stadium at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island with 14,455 fans in attendance.
Summary
Eight Division I college men's lacrosse teams met after having played their way through a regular season, and for some, a conference tournament.
As in 1984, Larry Quinn was named Tournament Outstanding Player. Quinn and the Hopkins' defense gave up only 21 goals over this three game tournament. Hopkins' defense allowed only one goal to Syracuse for the final three plus quarters. In the regular season Hopkins did lose one close game to UNC, but their defense kept opposing teams under 10 goals in 12 of their 14 games including an early season 8–6 win over Syracuse.
This finals was notable also for being Hopkin's ninth straight appearance in the title game. The Blue Jays had five victories with four defeats in title games during this nine-year period. Hopkins would return to the NCAA finals in 1987.
