The 1980 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia, were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. Arizona voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Arizona was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan by a landslide of 32 points.[1] It is a reliably Republican state, and has voted for the Republican candidate in every presidential race since 1952 except for Bill Clinton's re-election in 1996, when Clinton won the state.
