Cycling at the 1986 Commonwealth Games was the 12th appearance of Cycling at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 24 July to 2 August 1986.
The track events were held at the Meadowbank Velodrome, which had also hosted the track cycling at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games. The track was 250 metres in circumference and was six metres in width with 45 degree banking. A refurbishment of the track was required on the velodrome for the 1986 Games at the cost of £400,000.
The road race was a 105 miles route, consisting of 16 laps of approximately 7 miles, centered on the dual carriageway of the Edinburgh City Bypass.
Australia topped the cycling medal table, by virtue of winning all of the five track gold medals available.
