The 1980 United States presidential election in Oklahoma took place on November 4, 1980. All fifty states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Oklahoma was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R) by a 25-point landslide.[1] It is a reliably Republican state, and the last Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state was Lyndon Johnson in 1964.[2]
