The 1986 NCAA Division I lacrosse tournament was the 16th annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the team champion of men's college lacrosse among its Division I programs, held at the end of the 1986 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse season.

Fifth-seeded North Carolina capped off an 11-3 season with its third NCAA championship, upsetting Virginia in the final, 10–9 in overtime.

The championship game was played at Delaware Stadium at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware with 9,765 fans in attendance.
