1984–85 United States network television schedule

The 1984–85 network television schedule for the three major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime hours from September 1984 through August 1985. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1983–84 season.

Halfway through the season, NBC began airing some of its prime-time programming in MTS stereo sound. The network had aired The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and some specials in this format since the summer of 1984.

PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation but the schedule was set by each local station.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows released in May 1985 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
