The 1984–85 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 68th season of the Toronto NHL franchise, the 58th season as the Maple Leafs. It was a miserable season as they finished last in the Norris Division and in the entire NHL with a 20–52–8 record for a total of 48 points, the worst record in the league and team history. The Maple Leafs did not qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive season for the first time since the 1956–57 and 1957–58 seasons, and finished last in the NHL for the first time since the 1957-58 season.
