The Benetton B200 was the car with which the Benetton Formula One team competed in the 2000 Formula One season. It was driven by Giancarlo Fisichella and Alexander Wurz, who was dropped by the team at the end of the year after two consecutive poor seasons.
The team finished fourth in the Constructors' Championship, tied with British American Racing on 20 points, but placed ahead due to Fisichella's three podium finishes.
Early in the season, it was announced that the team had been sold to Renault, who would return as a works engine supplier in 2001 and rebrand the team completely for 2002.
