The 2000 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season, the 106th season of Sooner football. The team was led by Bob Stoops in his second season as head coach. They played their home games at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. During this season, they competed in the Big 12 Conference.
The Sooners opened the season ranked #19, the first time they had made it into a pre-season poll in five years.

The Sooners finished the regular season 12–0, while winning their first Big 12 title and their 37th conference title overall.

This is Oklahoma's seventh claimed and most recent national championship.
Following the season, Torrance Marshall was selected in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft, along with Josh Heupel in the sixth.
