City Route 85 is a solo EP by John K. Samson of The Weakerthans, released October 30, 2009 on Grand Hotel van Cleef in Europe, and November 3, 2009 on ANTI-/Epitaph in North America. Samson's first solo release since the EP Little Pictures in 1995, it was the first in a planned series of three or four-song singles inspired by roads in his home province of Manitoba.

Winnipeg's Route 85 is also known by the street name Portage Avenue.

The tracks were later re-recorded and released, along with those on Provincial Road 222, on Samson's solo album Provincial.
