A fourth referendum on the Compact of Free Association was held in Palau on 2 December 1986, after the previous three referendums had failed to achieve the 75% in favour necessary.

Voters were asked whether they approved of the Compact of Free Association between Palau and the United States signed on 10 January 1986.

It was approved by 66% of voters with a turnout of 82%.
