The Eurovision Song Contest 1985 was the 30th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 4 May 1985 at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden, and presented by Lill Lindfors. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT), who staged the event after winning the 1984 contest for Sweden with the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" by Herreys. Broadcasters from nineteen countries participated in the contest; Greece and Israel returned after a one-year absence, while the Netherlands and Yugoslavia, which had participated in the previous year's event, declined to enter due to separate memorial events in those countries coinciding with the date of the contest.
