The 1986 International Open (officially the 1986 BCE International Open) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 26 September and 5 October 1986 at Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Neal Foulds won his only ranking title by defeating Cliff Thorburn 12–9 in the final. Foulds defeated his father, Geoff, 5–0 in 70 minutes in their last-32 match. This was the only time a father and son have faced each other in a ranking event until Peter and Oliver Lines played each other in the 2021 WST Pro Series. Additionally, Peter Francisco beat his uncle Silvinho in the quarter-finals.
