The 1985 Galician regional election was held on Sunday, 24 November 1985, to elect the 2nd Parliament of the Autonomous Community of Galicia. All 71 seats in the Parliament were up for election

The 71 members of the Parliament of Galicia were elected in 4 multi-member districts, corresponding to Galicia's four provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation. For the 1985 election, seats were distributed as follows: Corunna (22), Lugo (15), Ourense (15) and Pontevedra (19).

Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of the total vote in each district (which includes blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.

Individual poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If that date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance of a tie, the figures with the highest percentages are shaded. in the case of seat projections, they are displayed in bold and in a different font. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. 36 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Parliament of Galicia.
