The North Carolina Council of State election of 2000 was held on 7 November 2000, to elect the Council of State. The new Council of State was formally inaugurated on January 6, 2001.[1]

Democrats held open seats for Governor, Attorney General, Agriculture Commissioner, and Treasurer. Republicans flipped the open Commissioner of Labor, which was the first and only win by a Republican for a North Carolina Council of State office (excluding the Governor and Lieutenant Governor) in the 20th century which came just weeks before the end of the century.
