}}The Canadian province of Prince Edward Island conducted a general election on April 17, 2000 to elect the 27 members of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.

Premier Pat Binns' Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island was elected to its second straight majority, winning every seat but one. This was an increase of eight seats from the previous election.

The Liberal Party of Prince Edward Island, led by rookie leader Wayne Carew, only won one seat, and Carew lost his own by a substantial margin.

The Island New Democrats, led by Herb Dickieson, increased their popular vote from the previous election, but lost their only seat (Dickieson's own).
