The 1985 South Pacific Mini Games were held at Rarotonga in the Cook Islands from 31 July to 9 August 1985. It was the second edition of the South Pacific Mini Games.

The new stadium built for the games had a grass track but several South Pacific Games athletics records were broken at the 1985 games including the women's 800 metres.
