The 1984–85 season was Liverpool Football Club's 93rd season in existence and their 23rd consecutive season in the First Division. As European champions, Liverpool took part in the 1984 Intercontinental Cup in December 1984 against Independiente in Tokyo, where they lost 1–0.
Liverpool reached the 1985 European Cup Final where they faced Juventus. They lost the match 1–0, but the game was overshadowed by crowd trouble where thirty-nine Juventus fans died. Just hours before the match, Liverpool manager Joe Fagan had announced he would retire at the end of the season.
