The 1986 season was the Minnesota Vikings' 26th season in the National Football League, and their first with former offensive coordinator Jerry Burns as head coach, following the departure of Bud Grant at the end of the previous season.
Although the Vikings finished with a 9–7 record (a two-game improvement from their 7–9 record from 1985) for their first winning season in a full 16-game season since 1980, they missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
