The 2000 Fed Cup was the 38th edition of the most important competition between national teams in women's tennis.
Changes were made to the World Group; instead of two groups of eight teams, there was one group of thirteen. The group was divided into three round-robin pools of four, with the winner of each pool joining defending champions the United States in a knockout bracket. In the final, the United States defeated Spain at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on 24–25 November, giving the United States their 17th title.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/26/sports/tennis-us-gets-revenge-and-wins-fed-cup.html|title=TENNIS; U.S. Gets Revenge and Wins Fed Cup|publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=13 April 2025}}{{cite web|url=https://www.tennis.com/baseline/articles/tbt-the-u-s-wins-the-fed-cup-in-2000-over-spain|title=The U.S. wins the Fed Cup in 2000 over Spain|publisher=tennis.com|accessdate=13 April 2025}}
