The 1981 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom.

It was the 95th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the second Grand Slam tennis event of 1981.

For the first time in the tournament's history there were no seeded British players in the singles draws.
