The 2000 Ohio Democratic presidential primary took place on March 7, 2000, as one of 15 states and one territory holding primaries on the same day, known as Super Tuesday, in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Ohio primary was a semi-open primary and awarded 169 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 146 were pledged delegates allocated based on the results of the primary.

Vice president Al Gore won the primary in a landslide with almost 73% of the vote and 109 delegates, while senator Bill Bradley gained just shy of 25% of the vote, secured 37 delegates, and won his first and only congressional district. The remaining 2% went to one other candidate, Lyndon LaRouche Jr. Gore did not cross the necessary majority of 2,171 delegates to officially win the Democratic nomination after Super Tuesday, but Bradley would withdraw three days later, leaving Gore as the presumptive nominee.[1]
