The 1980–81 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the second World Cup season in ski jumping.
The season began in Oberstdorf, West Germany on 30 December 1980 and it finished in Planica, Yugoslavia on 22 March 1981. The individual World Cup overall winner was Austrian ski jumper Armin Kogler and Nations Cup winner was Team of Austria.
24 men's individual events on 19 different venues in 12 countries were held. Three scheduled World Cup events in Zakopane and Cortina d'Ampezzo were completely canceled and one ski flying event in Ironwood (due to strong wind) was also cancelled. Ironwood and Sapporo hosted World Cup at the same time on two different venues, the first and last time in history.
Peaks of the season were FIS Ski Flying World Championships, Four Hills Tournament, Bohemia Tournament, Swiss Tournament and K.O.P. International Ski Flying Week. Competitions were held on three different continents this season; Europe, Asia and North America.
On 26 February 1981, Austrian ski jumper Armin Kogler, set and improved his own world record in Oberstdorf at 180 metres (591 ft), from previous year (that he set in Harrachov).
