The 1984–85 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship was the 15th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1970-71.
Nemo Rangers were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Carbery in the 1984 Cork County Championship.[1]
On 24 March 1985, Castleisland Desmonds won the championship following a 2–02 to 0–07 defeat of St. Vincent's in the All-Ireland final at Seán Treacy Park.[2] It remains their only championship title.
