The 1985 Masters Tournament was the 49th Masters Tournament, held April 11–14 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

Bernhard Langer won the first of his two major championships, both Masters, two strokes ahead of runners-up Seve Ballesteros, Raymond Floyd, and Curtis Strange. A 69 (−3) on Saturday put Floyd in the lead after 54 holes at 212 (−4); Strange was a stroke back, followed by Langer and Ballesteros at 214 (−2).[3] Despite an opening round 80, Strange led by three strokes with six holes to play in the final round, but bogeyed the 13th, 15th, and 18th holes[4] and finished two strokes back.[5][6] It was Strange's only top-5 finish at Augusta, but he won consecutive U.S. Opens in 1988 and 1989.

Langer, age 27 and dressed in red, birdied four of the last seven holes to win the green jacket.[2][7] The second champion from Europe, he had consecutive rounds of 68 (−4) on the weekend to become the first winner of a major from Germany (then West Germany).[5][6] Langer won a second green jacket eight years later in 1993.
