The 1985–86 Iraqi National League was the 12th season of the competition since its foundation in 1974. Unlike the previous season, each win was worth two points rather than three. Al-Talaba won their third league title out of the past five completed seasons, finishing two points ahead of Al-Rasheed with only a single loss.

1As holders, Al-Rasheed qualified automatically for the Arab Club Champions Cup.

Two places in the 1986–87 Iraqi National League were contested by the bottom six from the top division and the top four from the lower division. Al-Naft won one of the places, staying in the top division, and Al-Bahri won the other place to secure promotion.
