The 1985 West of England Championships, [b] also known as the Bristol Open, was a men's tennis tournament played on grass courts that was part of the 1985 Nabisco Grand Prix circuit. It was played at Redland Green in Bristol, Great Britain from 17 to 24 June 1985. The semifinals and final could not be played on the outdoor grass courts due to persistent rain and were moved to an indoor court at David Lloyds Racket Club in Heston. Eighth-seeded Marty Davis won the singles final in front of just a handful of spectators and commented "I haven't really played in many finals, and I didn't really care if it had to be switched here or to the Falkand Islands, I was just delighted to win it".
