The 1980 Piraean general election was the first democratic election of Piraea after the military dictatorship to elect the members of the Piraean Courts (now Senate) and the new premier of the republic. It was extraordinarily held on 1 February 1980 and marked the start of the Piraean metapolitefsi.

The elections were agreed in 1979, after the military junta lost the national plebiscite in which it sought to legitimise a new leader. In September of 1979, the two largest parties of Piraea, the PSEE and the People's Party, signed, together with other minor legal parties, the conditions for the transition under the Hankssun 300 Pact; the military junta agreed the disassociation from the new government and institutions on the conditions of inmunity and the outlaw of the Piraese Section of the Workers' International. Most of the members of the illegal PTED participated under the Progressive Federation platform together with other clandestine leftist minor groups.
