The 2020 Wyoming Democratic presidential caucuses had been scheduled to take place on April 4, 2020 in the Democratic Party primaries and caucuses for the 2020 presidential election, but in-person voting was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and mail-in voting was extended to April 17, 2020.[1] The Wyoming caucuses were a closed caucus, with the state awarding 18 delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 14 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the caucus. Voters cast ranked-choice voting ballots, with a voter's ballot counting for four ranked backup choices if their original choice was in last place and below the 15 percent threshold for winning delegates.

Former vice president and presumptive nominee Joe Biden won the primary, taking almost 71% of the vote and 10 delegates after the distribution of preferences, compared to senator Bernie Sanders' 27% and 4 delegates. On the count of first choices, Biden and Sanders had taken approximately 66% and 24% of the vote, while 9% were spread between six other candidates who had withdrawn from the race, including 4% for senator Elizabeth Warren. On the final count, around 2% of votes were inactive, as they did not include a choice for one of the candidates that had overcome the 15 percent hurdle.
