The 1985 Nabisco Dinah Shore was a women's professional golf tournament, held April 4–7 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. This was the 14th edition of the Nabisco Dinah Shore, and the third as a major championship.
Alice Miller shot a final round 67 (−5) to win her only major title, three strokes ahead of runner-up Jan Stephenson. Summer-like conditions prevailed, the temperature on Sunday afternoon was 95 °F (35 °C).[3][4] On Saturday, Miller sank a forty-foot (12 m) birdie putt on the 18th green to end the third round with a one stroke lead over Patty Sheehan and Judy Clark.[5]
Defending champion Juli Inkster was at even par, tied for 18th place.[1][4]
