The 2000 United States presidential election in Mississippi took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 7 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Mississippi was won by Governor George W. Bush with a double-digit margin of victory of 16.92%. Bush won most of the counties and congressional districts of the state. Bush dominated the east part of the state and Gore did well in the west. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Jasper County voted for the Republican candidate and the last election in which Yalobusha County voted for the Democratic candidate.
