The '''1985 National League Championship Series''' was played between the [[1985 St. Louis Cardinals season|St. Louis Cardinals]] and [[1985 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]] from October 9–16. It was the 17th [[National League Championship Series|NLCS]] and the first played under the new best-of-seven format. In previous years, the NLCS had been settled by a best-of-five format. This series is best known for [[Ozzie Smith]]'s dramatic [[walk-off home run]] in Game 5. This is the second consecutive NLCS where a team overcame a 2–0 series deficit to win the series after the Padres did so in the best-of-five [[1984 National League Championship Series|1984 NLCS]].
