The 1985 World Women's Curling Championship (branded as 1985 H&M World Women's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held from March 17–23 at the Rosenlundshallen in Jönköping, Sweden.

Canada's Linda Moore rink defeated Scotland's Isobel Torrance team in the final, 5–2. Both teams played cautiously, but Scotland, who were the youngest team at the event, made more mistakes. Canada took a significant lead in the sixth end, when they stole a point to lead 3–1 after Torrance tried a hit and stick, but rolled out of the house. Canada stole another point in the ninth to lead 5–2 after Torrance was light on a draw attempt. In the final end, Moore ran Scotland out of stones after making a take out of a rock in the 12-foot. Prior to Moore's shot, Scotland were sitting two, but needed three to tie. It was Canada's second straight championship, the first country to win two straight titles. Switzerland's Erika Müller won the bronze medal, defeating Sweden, skipped by Inga Arfwidsson in the bronze medal game, 6–4.[1]
