text: # 1985 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships
  
  The 1985 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships were contested March 8−9, 1985 at the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York to determine the individual and team national champions of men's and women's NCAA collegiate indoor track and field events in the United States. These were the 21st annual men's championships and the 3rd annual women's championships.
  
  On the men's side, defending champions Arkansas claimed the team title, the Razorbacks' second. This would ultimately be the second of twelve straight titles for Arkansas. For the women, Florida State topped the team standings, claiming the Seminoles' first title.
  
  This was the first championship held only for Division I programs. The inaugural Division II championship (for men and women) was held at North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota while the Division III event (also for men and women) was hosted by Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
