The 2020 Delaware Democratic presidential primary took place on July 7, 2020, alongside the New Jersey primary, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. It was originally going to take place on April 28, 2020, as one of several northeastern states in the "Acela primary", but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Delaware primary was a closed primary, with the state awarding 32 delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 21 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.

Former vice president and presumptive nominee Joe Biden, who represented the state in the senate for three and a half decades, swept all delegates in this primary, winning almost 90% of the vote. Senator Bernie Sanders, who still attempted to win delegates, took little more than 7% of the vote, with senator Elizabeth Warren, the only other withdrawn candidate, collecting the rest.
