The 1985 Icelandic Cup was the 26th edition of the National Football Cup.

It took place between 22 May 1984 and 25 August 1984, with the final played at Laugardalsvöllur in Reykjavík.[1] [2] The cup was important, as winners qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (if a club won both the league and the cup, the defeated finalists would take their place in the Cup Winners' Cup).

The 10 clubs from the 1. Deild entered in the last 16, with clubs from lower tiers entering in the three preliminary rounds. Teams played one-legged matches. In case of a draw, a penalty shoot-out took place (there were no replays, unlike in previous years).

Fram won the trophy, beating Keflavík in the final. They won their fifth Icelandic Cup, and so qualified for Europe.
