The 2000 Illinois Democratic presidential primary took place on March 21, 2000, the third primary Tuesday of the month, as the only state voting on that day in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Illinois primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 190 delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 161 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Vice president Al Gore was the winner of the Illinois primary. Gore was victorious in all counties winning almost 85% of the vote and 149 delegates, while senator Bill Bradley received the rest of 14% and 12 delegates. Together with his previous victories on Mini Tuesday in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, Gore greatly expanded the gap in delegates between him and Bradley.
