1985 College Baseball All-America Team

1985 All-Americans included six-time MLB All-Star Will Clark and eleven-time MLB All-Star Barry Larkin.

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1985 NCAA Division I baseball season. From 1981 to 1990, there were three generally recognized All-America selectors for baseball: the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America, and The Sporting News. In order to be considered a "consensus" All-American, a player must have been selected by at least two of these.
