The 2000 West Virginia Democratic presidential primary took place on May 9, 2000 alongside the Nebraska primary, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The West Virginia primary was a semi-closed primary, with the state awarding 42 delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of whom 30 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.

Vice president and recently determined presumptive nominee Al Gore swept the state and won 27 delegates with 72% of the vote, winning all 55 counties. Former senator Bill Bradley made the delegate threshold with little more than 18%, and Angus Wheeler McDonald, a farmer and resident of Charles Town, West Virginia, who did not appear on the ballot in any other state, received 7%.
