The 1986 U.S. Open was the 86th U.S. Open. The golf tournament was played between June 12-15, 1986, at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. Raymond Floyd became the oldest U.S. Open champion with a two-stroke victory over Chip Beck and Lanny Wadkins.

Greg Norman led after 36 and 54-holes, and took an one-stroke lead over Lee Trevino and Hal Sutton into the final round. Norman would lead each of the four major championships in 1986 after 54-holes, but would win just once, at the British Open. He dropped back to 12th place with a final round 75. The tournament became wide open, and at one point in the final round there were seven players tied for the lead. Raymond Floyd, who began the round three back, was the one who separated from the pack. He birdied the 11th, saved par at 12, then recorded another birdie at 13 to tie for the lead. He took sole possession of the lead after the 14th, then added another birdie at the 16th. After finishing his round, he was three clear of his closest pursuers. Lanny Wadkins and Chip Beck both shot final-round 65s to share 2nd, two-strokes back of Floyd.

At 43 years, 9 months and 11 days, Floyd became the oldest winner of the U.S. Open, surpassing the record of Ted Ray from 1920. It would be the last of his four career major championships, and he only won twice more in his career. Jack Nicklaus finished in a tie for 8th, his last Top 10 finish at the U.S. Open.
