The 2000 Alabama Democratic presidential primary took place on June 6, 2000, as one of five final contests scheduled in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The open primary allocated 54 pledged delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, distributed in proportion to the results of the primary, statewide and within each congressional district. The state was also given an additional 10 unpledged delegates (superdelegates), whose votes at the convention were not bound to the result of the primary.

Only two candidates ran in this primary, that being Vice President Al Gore and political activist and perennial candidate Lyndon LaRouche. Bill Bradley, the only other major contender for the nomination against Gore had withdrawn months prior to the primary and was therefore not on the ballot. Al Gore won by an overwhelming landslide, winning every county and congressional district in the state. He received 77% of the vote and was awarded 54 delegates. Uncommitted came in second place, with 17% of the vote, but no delegates were awarded. Lyndon LaRouche came in a distant third with roughly 5% of the vote, missing the 15% threshold for delegates.
