Wrestling at the 1986 Commonwealth Games was the 13th appearance of Wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 24 July to 2 August 1986. The competition featured contests in ten weight classes.

The events took place in the Edinburgh Playhouse on Greenside Place.

Canada topped the wrestling medal table by virtue of winning nine of the ten gold medals on offer. The domination of the Canadian team was primarily due to there being no wrestlers from India and Pakistan due to the boycott.
