The 99th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 1985, to January 3, 1987, during the fifth and sixth years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the Twentieth Census of the United States in 1980.

The Republicans maintained control of the Senate, while the Democrats maintained control of the House of Representatives - albeit with both majorities slightly reduced from the 98th Congress.

This was the most recent session of Congress prior to the 116th which featured a Republican Senate/Democratic House split and had a third-party House member.
