}}The 1980 WTA Tour was the 8th season since the foundation of the Women's Tennis Association. It commenced on January 7, 1980, and concluded on December 24, 1980, after 53 events. It was the elite tour for professional women's tennis organised by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). The year is divided into two sponsored tours, with the first three months in the United States on the Avon Championships Circuit and the remaining nine months on the world wide Colgate Series Circuit. It included the four Grand Slam tournaments and a series of other events. ITF World Circuit tournaments were not part of the tour, although they awarded points for the WTA World Ranking.
