General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 31 January and 2 February 1986. The result was a victory for the Patriotic Union, which won 8 of the 15 seats in the Landtag. The Progressive Citizens' Party won seven seats, whilst the new Free List narrowly failed to cross the 8% electoral threshold and did not obtain representation.^[1] The coalition government of the FBP and the VU continued.

They were the first elections in which women could vote, as until the passing of a referendum in 1984, suffrage had been limited to men.
