Interstate 985 (I-985) is a convert|24.04|mi|km|2|lk=on|sing=on long auxiliary Interstate Highway in Georgia. It begins at Interstate 85 near Suwanee and continues northward to the north Georgia city of Gainesville.

I-985 is also known as the Sidney Lanier Parkway and is the unsigned State Route 419. The highway was built in the mid 1960s as State Route 365; it was given the I-985 designation in 1985. I-985 and SR 365 currently run concurrently - both routes end at the interchange with I-85 near Suwanee - but only the I-985 signs are displayed. I-985 also overlaps U.S. Route 23 from exit 4 northward; US 23 was moved onto the Interstate once it was completed.

The speed limit is 70 mph (113km/h) except north of exit 22 where the speed limit drops to 65 mph (105 km/h). After exit 24, I-985 ends, and the freeway becomes a four-lane highway with at-grade intersections.
