The 1985 LPGA Championship was held May 30 to June 2 at Jack Nicklaus Golf Center at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, a suburb northeast of Cincinnati. Played on the Grizzly Course,[1] this was the 31st edition of the LPGA Championship.

Nancy Lopez won the second of her three major titles, all at the LPGA Championship. She led wire-to-wire and finished with a final round 65 (−7) for 273 (−15), eight strokes ahead of runner-up Alice Miller.[3] It was her second consecutive victory of the 1985 season.[4][5]

Lopez opened with a first round 65, despite being assessed a two-stroke penalty for slow play.[1] She won her third major on the same course in 1989.
