The 2000 Idaho Democratic presidential primary took place on May 23, 2000, as one of three states voting the week after the Oregon primary in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Idaho primary was an open primary, allowing voting of any registration to participate, and awarded 23 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of whom 18 were pledged delegates allocated, but not on the basis of the primary results. The Idaho caucus earlier in the year was the binding contest, where as the primary was simply a preference vote.

Vice president Al Gore and Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. were the only candidates on the ballot, and Gore won the primary with almost 75% of the vote, but did not receive any delegates, as he had already won the caucus in March.
