The 1986 NCAA women's gymnastics championships were contested at the fifth annual tournament hosted by the NCAA to determine the individual and team national champions of women's gymnastics among its member programs in the United States.

The competition took place from April 18–19 in Gainesville, Florida, hosted by the University of Florida at the O'Connell Center.

Four-time defending champions Utah again won the team title, the Red Rocks' fifth NCAA title. Nevertheless, this was the first championship where a record team score was not set.

Penney Hauschild, from Alabama, defended her individual all-around championship.
