A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of West Bromwich West was held on 23 November 2000, triggered by the resignation of incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) and Speaker of the House of Commons Betty Boothroyd. The by-election was won by Labour Party candidate Adrian Bailey with a 16% majority.

It was held on the same day as by-elections in Glasgow Anniesland and Preston, both of which were also won by Labour.
