The 2000 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 7, 2000 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Tennessee was won by Governor George W. Bush by a 3.87% margin of victory, despite being the home state of Vice President Al Gore. Therefore if Vice President Gore had carried his home state, he, instead of Bush, would have been elected President.
