The 2000 LPGA Championship was the 46th LPGA Championship, played June 22–25 at DuPont Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware.

Juli Inkster won her second consecutive LPGA Championship on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Stefania Croce, and became the first reigning champion to successfully defend the title since 1984.

Inkster was the 54-hole co-leader with Wendy Ward after a 65 (−6) on Saturday, but shot a final round 75 on a blustery Sunday; she had a three-shot lead with five holes to play, but made a double bogey on 14 and missed a six-foot (1.8 m) par putt on the final hole. Inkster parred both holes in the sudden-death playoff to win the sixth of her seven major titles.

The DuPont Country Club hosted this championship for eleven consecutive seasons, from 1994 through 2004.
