The 2000 Macau Grand Prix (officially the 47th Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) car race held on the streets of Macau on 19 November 2000. In contrast to other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2000 Macau Grand Prix was not affiliated with any F3 championship and was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race was split into two 15-lap aggregate legs held in the morning and afternoon. This is the first time that the rankings from Leg 1 are only used for the starting grid for Leg 2, the overall ranking is determined by Leg 2 rankings only. However, the players must complete both legs to be eligible for overall ranking. The Macau Grand Prix was held for the 47th time in 2000, and the 18th time for F3 cars.

André Couto of Bertram Schafer Racing won the Grand Prix after starting sixth in the first leg. Couto passed first-leg winner Pierre Kaffer of team hms at the start of the second leg and withstood pressure from Paolo Montin of Target Racing to become the first Macanese driver to win the race under F3 rules. Montin finished second, while Ryō Fukuda finished third in his own car.
