The 2000 Missouri gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2000. Incumbent Democratic Governor Mel Carnahan was term-limited and ran for the U.S. Senate. On October 16, 2000, Carnahan died in a plane crash, and Lieutenant Governor Roger B. Wilson served the remainder of Carnahan's term.
State Treasurer Bob Holden won the Democratic nomination unopposed, and faced U.S. Representative Jim Talent, who won the Republican primary over lesser-known candidates, in the general election. Holden narrowly defeated Talent, winning 49 percent of the vote to Talent's 48 percent.
