The 1985 Southeastern Louisiana Lions football team was an American football team that represented Southeastern Louisiana University during the 1985 NCAA Division I-AA football season as a member of the Gulf Star Conference (GSC). Led by sixth-year head coach Oscar Lofton, the team compiled an overall record of 2–9 with a mark of 1–4 in conference play.
