The Pakistani cricket team toured Sri Lanka from 23 February to 27 March 1986. The tour consisted of three Test matches and four One Day Internationals (ODIs). This was Pakistan's first Test series tour in Sri Lanka. The series ended 1–1 with 1 match drawn.
The tour was remembered for the acrimony between the two sides and poor umpiring throughout the Test series. The latter became the catalyst for Imran Khan to become an advocate for neutral umpires.
