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

Nebraska is one of the two states (the other being Maine) to award electoral votes to the winner of each congressional district.

Texas Governor George W. Bush won the statewide vote by a 29% margin of victory, winning every county. Also, with 62.25% of the popular vote, the state proved to be his fourth strongest state in the 2000 election after Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. Bush also won all three congressional districts, so he was awarded all 5 of the state's electoral votes.

As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last time that either major party nominee won every county in Nebraska.
