1985 Quebec election



         


In the Quebec general election on December 2, 1985, the Quebec Liberal Party under Robert Bourassa defeated the incumbent Parti Québécois under Pierre-Marc Johnson.

This election marked the comeback of Robert Bourassa, whose political career had been thought to be over after losing the 1976 general election and resigning as Liberal leader. However, Bourassa personally failed to win his own seat in the Bertrand electoral district, and had to run in a by-election one month later in the safe Saint-Laurent electoral district.
