The 1985 Cincinnati Reds season was the 116th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 16th and 15th full season at Riverfront Stadium. The Cincinnati Reds improved on their 70–92 record from the previous season to finish at 89–72, but missed the postseason for the 6th consecutive year and they finished in second place, 5½ games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. This year, the Reds adopted an alternate uniform. Reds pitcher Tom Browning became the last 20th century pitcher to win 20 games in his rookie year.
