The 2000 Florida State Seminoles football team represented the Florida State University as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by 25th-year head coach Bobby Bowden, the Seminoles compiled an overall record of 11–2 with a mark of 8–0 in conference play, winning the ACC title. Florida was invited to the Orange Bowl, making the program's third consecutive appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. There the Seminoles lost to Oklahoma. The team played home games at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

Senior quarterback Chris Weinke was awarded the Heisman Trophy as college football's most outstanding player. He was the second Florida State player to win the award, following Charlie Ward in 1993.
