The 2000 Wisconsin Supreme Court election was held on April 4, 2000, to elect a justice to the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a ten-year term. Incumbent justice Diane S. Sykes (who had been appointed in 1999) was re-elected, defeating challenger Louis B. Butler by a wide margin.
In 1999, Justice Sykes was appointed to the court by Governor Tommy Thompson to replace Justice Donald W. Steinmetz, who had retired. Since Justice Steinmetz's term was already set to expire in 2000, the election did not need to be scheduled any earlier than it otherwise would have been.
