The 2000 Isle of Man TT was a motorcycle race event. The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Races are held annually in the Isle of Man. The 2000 races were dominated by David Jefferies and Joey Dunlop, who gained a hat-trick of wins each. They included Dunlop's 26th and final win at the TT in the Ultra-lightweight 125cc race, and he also proved he could still win a 'big bike' race, winning the Formula One TT in the opening race. Dunlop died several weeks later in a racing accident in Tallinn, Estonia.{{Cite web |title=TT 2000 |url=https://www.iomtt.com/tt-database/events?meet_code=TT00%20%20&era=5}}

The event was Michael Rutter's last TT until his return in 2007.{{Cite web |title=Database |url=https://www.iomttraces.com/racing/page/database/?agent=mnh-agent-1277382 |access-date=2023-11-10 |website=www.iomttraces.com |language=en}}

Rob Fisher won both sidecar races bringing his total up to eight wins.{{Cite web |title=Competitor Profile: Rob Fisher |url=https://www.iomtt.com/tt-database/competitors?ride_id=4156}}
