LNHL Entry Draft 1980 è stato il 18º draft della National Hockey League. Si è tenuto l'11 giugno 1980 presso il Forum de Montréal di Montréal.
Il secondo NHL Entry Draft fu il primo aperto anche al pubblico ed ospitato presso il palazzetto di una delle franchigie della NHL. Dopo le edizioni degli anni 1970 svoltesi in segreto tramite teleconferenza la lega abbandonò il Queen Elizabeth Hotel optando per il Forum de Montréal, sede delle gare dei Canadiens. Aprendo le porte ai tifosi la NHL cercò di rendere il Draft uno show appetibile per il pubblico, così come già accadeva allora per quelli della NBA e della NFL. L'idea ebbe successo e al Forum si presentarono oltre 2.500 tifosi, soprattutto tifosi locali, curiosi di sapere chi sarebbe stata la prima scelta assoluta dei Canadiens. A differenza dell'edizione 1979 i giri aumentarono da sei a dieci, portando il numero di giocatori scelti a 210.
I Montreal Canadiens selezionarono il centro Doug Wickenheiser dai Regina Pats, i Winnipeg Jets invece come seconda scelta puntarono sul difensore Dave Babych, proveniente dai Portland Winter Hawks, mentre i Chicago Blackhawks scelsero in terza posizione il centro Denis Savard dei Montreal Juniors. Fra i 210 giocatori selezionati 122 erano attaccanti, 71 erano difensori mentre 17 erano portieri. Dei giocatori scelti 132 giocarono in NHL, 24 vinsero la Stanley Cup mentre 4 entrarono a far parte della Hockey Hall of Fame.
