The 1980 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

North Dakota was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R) by a 38-point landslide. With 64.23% of the popular vote, North Dakota would prove to be Reagan's fourth strongest state after Utah, Idaho and Nebraska.

, this is the last election in which Sioux County, home of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, voted for a Republican presidential candidate.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016
