Autoroute 85 or A-85 is a short autoroute located near Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada. Once completed it will completely replace Route 185 as the main route between Autoroute 20 and New Brunswick and will be 98 kilometres in length.

The first portion of the autoroute was opened on December 9, 2005. The northern half of that portion was built to autoroute standards for decades but was until then signed as Route 185.

Autoroute 85 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway, but is considered as a south/north axis by Transport Quebec because it runs perpendicular to the Saint Lawrence River.
