General elections were held in the City of Buenos Aires on 7 May 2000 to elect the Chief of Government (mayor) and entirety of the City Legislature.

In the mayoral election, former prosecutor Aníbal Ibarra, of the Alliance, won in the first round of voting with 49.30% of the vote. According to the city's constitution, a candidate for Chief of Government must achieve over 50% of the vote in order to win in the first round, but the second-most voted candidate, former economy minister Domingo Cavallo, dropped out of the race for the second round and ceded victory to Ibarra.

This was only the second general election in the City of Buenos Aires and the first since the adoption of the 1996 Constitution.
