text: # Judo at the 1986 Commonwealth Games
  
  Judo at the 1986 Commonwealth Games was the first time that Judo at the Commonwealth Games was included as a sport. It was however just as a demonstration sport (alongside canoeing) and did not contribute towards the medal table. The sport took place at Meadowbank Stadium and saw full capacity attendances. The event like many at the 1986 Games was affected by the boycott of multiple nations.
