The 1984–85 UEFA Cup was the 14th season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The final was played over two legs at the Sóstói Stadion, Székesfehérvár, Hungary, and at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid, Spain. The competition was won by Real Madrid of Spain, who defeated Videoton of Hungary by an aggregate result of 3–1 to claim their first UEFA Cup title.
Real Madrid became the first Spanish side to win the UEFA Cup since its foundation in 1971. Three Spanish teams had won the predecessor tournament, the Inter-Cities Fairs' Cup, but UEFA does not recognise it as an official competition within its records. The last Spanish title at this level was achieved 18 years before, by long-time rivals Barcelona in 1966.
