National Highway 85 (NH 85) is a National Highway in southern India. It links Kochi in Kerala with Thondi, Tamil Nadu. The section between Kochi and Madurai formed part of the old NH 49 before the 2010 renumbering of national highways in India.


The Kochi–Theni Greenfield Highway has been proposed to decongest the traffic between the Kochi and Munnar stretch on the NH 85.
