The 1985 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's ninth season of Major League Baseball. It resulted in the Blue Jays finishing first in the American League East with a record of 99 wins and 62 losses. The win total of 99 is a franchise record, and the division title was the franchise's first. This was the first time the Blue Jays made the postseason.
Despite having the second-best record in Major League Baseball, the Blue Jays collapsed in the American League Championship Series to the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals, blowing a 3–1 series lead and losing in seven games.
This was the first time in franchise history in which the Toronto Blue Jays were eliminated by the eventual World Series champions.
