The Venetian regional election of 2000 took place on 16 April 2000.

Giancarlo Galan (Forza Italia, Pole for Freedoms) was re-elected for the third time President of the Region by a landslide over the centre-left candidate Massimo Cacciari (The Democrats).

Forza Italia, this time in alliance also with the Northern League, had its best result ever and was by far the largest party in the election, receiving 30.3% of the regional vote.

  1. ^ The swing comes from the combined result of the Pole of Freedoms (38.2%) and Lega Nord (17.5%) in the 1995 regional election.
