The 1985 Pot Black was the seventeenth edition of the professional invitational snooker tournament, which took place in December 1984 but was broadcast in the summer of 1985. The tournament was held at Pebble Mill Studios in Birmingham, and featured sixteen professional players.

All matches until the final were one-frame shoot-outs, the final being contested over the best of three frames.

Doug Mountjoy won the event, his thirteenth professional title, beating Jimmy White 2–0 in the final. This was also Mountjoy's second Pot Black title; previously, he had won the 1979 edition.
