The 1986 Asian Games (Korean: 1986년 아시아 경기대회/1986년 아시안 게임, romanized: Cheon gubaeg palsib yug-nyeon Asia gyeonggi daehoe/Cheon gubaeg palsib yug-nyeon Asian Geim), also known as the 10th Asian Games and the X Asiad (Korean: 제10회 아시아 경기대회/제10회 아시안 게임, romanized: Je sib hoe Asia gyeonggi daehoe/Je sib hoe Asian Geim) were held from 20 September to 5 October 1986, in Seoul, South Korea. The venues and facilities of the 10th Asiad were the same venues and facilities that would be used in the 1988 Summer Olympics, as it was considered a test event.

Seoul had previously been scheduled to host the 1970 games, but it received security threats from neighbouring North Korea, forcing it to give up hosting the games to previous 1966 host Bangkok, Thailand.
