The A1086 is a road in County Durham, north-east England.

The route of the A1086 starts from the A19 junction in Easington and runs to the A179 junction in Hartlepool via Horden, Blackhall Colliery, Blackhall Rocks and Crimdon.

It is mostly a dangerous route between Horden and Blackhall Colliery and between Crimdon between Hartlepool as the road runs through wooded areas with Castle Eden Dene between Horden and Blackhall Colliery and Crimdon Dene between Crimdon and Hartlepool. The road has a 40mph speed limit and several people have died and suffered serious injuries through drivers exceeding this.[citation needed]
