The 1985 Bristol Open, also known as the West of England Grass Court Championships, was a men's tennis tournament played on grass courts that was part of the 1985 Nabisco Grand Prix circuit. It was played at Bristol in Great Britain from 17 to 24 June 1985. The final could not be played on the outdoor grass courts due to persistent rain and was moved to an indoor court at David Lloyds Racket Club in Heston. Marty Davis won the singles final in front of just a handful of spectators and commented "I haven't really played in many finals, and I didn't really care if it had to be switched here or to the Falkand Islands, I was just delighted to win it".

United States Martin Davis defeated United States Glenn Layendecker 4–6, 6–3, 7–5


South Africa Eddie Edwards / South Africa Danie Visser defeated Australia John Alexander / New Zealand Russell Simpson 6–4, 7–6
