The Women's 200 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics programme was held at Stadium Australia on Wednesday 27 September, and Thursday 28 September 2000.[1] The winning margin was 0.01 seconds which as of 2023 remains the only time the women's Olympic 200 metres was won by less than 0.02 seconds. The winner had the third fastest reaction time in the final.

The top four runners in each of the initial seven heats automatically qualified for the second round. The next four fastest runners from across the heats also qualified for the second round, and the top four runners in each of the four second round heats automatically qualified for the semi-final.

The top four runners in each semi-final automatically qualified for the final. There were a total number of 54 participating athletes.

U.S. sprinter Marion Jones was stripped of her gold medal following her 2007 admission of taking performance-enhancing steroids. Medals were reallocated accordingly.
