# Week van de jaren tachtig

De Week van de jaren tachtig is een themaweek op NPO Radio 2. In die week wordt uitsluitend muziek afgespeeld uit de jaren tachtig van de 20e eeuw. De muziek wordt anders dan bijvoorbeeld bij de Radio 2 Top 2000 door de "normale" dj's van dienst gepresenteerd. De week bestaat sinds 2000.
De jaren tachtig bevat naast de gangbare popmuziek ook muziek die later werd aangeduid als foute muziek, maar ook muziek van de doemdenkers kwamen aan bod. Zo is muziek te horen van A-Ha tot Joy Division.
De week wordt afgesloten met een Top 100 van de jaren tachtig, die er in maart 2015 als volgt uitzag:
