The 1986 Southwest Conference Baseball Tournament was the league's annual postseason tournament used to determine the Southwest Conference's (SWC) automatic bid to the 1986 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. The tournament was held from May 16 through May 19 at Olsen Field on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, TX.

Due to rain delays, the loser's bracket and semifinal games were canceled. The winners of the first round games met in the finals.

The number 2 seed Texas A&M Aggies went 3-0 to win the team's 1st SWC Tournament under head coach Mark Johnson.[2]

The tournament featured the top four finishers of the SWC's 8 teams in a double-elimination tournament.[3][4][5][6]
