List of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films (1980–1989)

This is a list of films produced and/or distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) during the decade of the 1980s. This period followed a turbulent decade for the studio in the 1970s and was characterized by varying degrees of commercial and critical success. It marks a period of corporate restructuring and ownership changes for MGM, including acquisitions and mergers that impacted its film output and overall direction.

The list aims to provide a chronological overview of the theatrical releases distributed by MGM during this time, and may include films produced solely by MGM, co-productions with other studios, and films acquired for distribution. Television films are generally not included. Each entry ideally includes the film's title and release year. Additional information, such as cast, director, a brief synopsis, and box office results, can be added to enhance the entry further. The list is intended to be comprehensive, but data may be incomplete due to the availability of historical records.

The decade saw a variety of genres represented in MGM's film library, ranging from dramas and comedies to action films and science fiction. Significant titles and notable events, such as changes in studio leadership, mergers, and acquisitions, are noted to provide context to the films released. The information is compiled from publicly available sources, including film databases, studio archives, and reputable entertainment publications.
