The 1985 Jersey City mayoral election was held on June 11, 1985. Incumbent mayor Gerald McCann ran for a second term in office but was defeated by Anthony R. Cucci.

The election centered on the effects of recent redevelopment along the Hudson River waterfront, with renters and minority communities opposing McCann's administration and backing Cucci. Many prominent Democratic Party officials supported Cucci over McCann, who had aligned himself with the Ronald Reagan administration during his time in office.
