The 1980 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's fourth season of Major League Baseball. It resulted in the Blue Jays finishing seventh in the American League East with a record of 67 wins and 95 losses. The season represented a turning point as Bobby Mattick became the second field manager in franchise history.
One of the highlights for the 1980 Blue Jays was the emergence of Dave Stieb as a quality starter. Also, on May 4, Otto Vélez hit four home runs in a doubleheader sweep of the Cleveland Indians, including a walk-off shot in the first game.
