The 2000 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University as a member of the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by second-year head coach Dennis Erickson, the Beavers compiled an overall record of 11–1 with a mark of 7–1 in conference play, sharing the Pac-10 title with Oregon and Washington. Oregon State was invited to the Fiesta Bowl, where the Beavers defeated Notre Dame. The team played home games at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.

The 2000 season was arguably the greatest season in the history of Oregon State Beavers football. The Beavers' shared of the Pac-10 title was the program first conference championship since the 1964 season. The Beavers also achieved their first win over the USC Trojans since the 1967 season. The three-point loss at Washington in early October kept the Beavers out of the Rose Bowl and denied their first outright conference title since the 1956 season. They routed tenth-ranked Notre Dame, 41–9, in the Fiesta Bowl to finish the season.[1] [2] The 11 wins remains an Oregon State single-season record.
