No. 86 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter squadron of World War II. The squadron was formed in March 1943 and was deployed to Merauke in Dutch New Guinea in July that year. While No. 86 Squadron was stationed at Merauke until April 1944, it saw little combat. After being transferred back to Australia its aircraft and personnel were transferred to other units, and only a nucleus of the squadron remained. While it was re-equipped with new aircraft in June 1945, the war ended before the squadron was ready for combat and it was disbanded in December 1945.

- O Esquadrão N.º 86 foi um esquadrão da Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Formado em Março de 1943, foi enviado para Merauke, na Nova Guiné Holandesa, em Julho; ficou estacionado nesta localidade até Abril de 1944, tendo visto pouca acção. Depois de ser transferido de volta para a Austrália e ver o seu equipamento e efectivo a ser transferido para outras unidades, acabou por ser re-equipado com novo equipamento e militares, contudo, o cessar das hostilidades chegou antes de poder usar as suas novas aeronaves em batalha. Em Dezembro de 1945, o esquadrão foi dissolvido. (pt)
