The 1985 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament was the 1985 postseason baseball championship of the NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference, held at Russ Chandler Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia from May 17–20.

Format

All eight ACC teams qualified for the eight-team double-elimination tournament.

Seeding procedure

From TheACC.com:

On Saturday (The Semifinals) of the ACC Baseball Tournament, the match-up between the four remaining teams is determined by previous opponents. If teams have played previously in the tournament, every attempt will be made to avoid a repeat match-up between teams, regardless of seed. If it is impossible to avoid a match-up that already occurred, then the determination is based on avoiding the most recent, current tournament match-up, regardless of seed. If no match-ups have occurred, the team left in the winners bracket will play the lowest seeded team from the losers bracket.
