Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Women's long jump

The Women's long jump competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia was held at the Stadium Australia on 29 September 2000. The winning margin was 7cm.

In the final, German Heike Drechsler finished in first place, with a jump distance on 6.99 m. Italian Fiona May finished in second, while American Marion Jones claimed the third place. On 5 October 2007, Jones admitted that she had taken performance-enhancing drugs. As a result, she was disqualified and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped her of bronze medal on 9 December. Russian Tatyana Kotova, who originally finished in fourth place, was instead awarded the bronze. Kotova was later found guilty of doping, but her Olympic results were unaffected.
