The 1985 European Squash Team Championships sponsored by Guy Laroche, was the 13th edition of European Squash Team Championships for squash players. The event was held in Barcelona, Spain, from 6 to 7 April 1985. The tournament was organised by the European Squash Rackets Federation (ESRF).^[1][2]

The England men's team won their 11th title and the England women's team won their 8th title.^[3][4]

The Barcelona event had a sour note as many of the teams competing in the tournament were subject to street crime (robberies or assaults), which led to the President of the Scottish SRA stating "It is the most dangerous city that he had been in".^[5]
