The On Location Tour was a concert tour by British rock band Dire Straits of North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, consisting of 115 concerts. The tour started on 22 October 1980 in Vancouver, British Columbia and ended on 6 July 1981 in Luxembourg. The tour promoted and supported the group's third album, Making Movies, which was released on 17 October 1980.

The tour lineup included Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass), Pick Withers (drums), and new band members Alan Clark (keyboards) and Hal Lindes (guitar). The concerts at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, the Palais des Sports in Paris, and the Werchter Festival in Belgium were filmed, but never released as commercial videos.
