The West Bromwich West by-election, 2000 was a by-election held on 23 November 2000 for the British House of Commons constituency of West Bromwich West.

The constituency's Member of Parliament (MP) was the Rt. Hon. Betty Boothroyd, the Speaker. She resigned from the House of Commons on 2 September 2000, triggering the by-election

In 1997 the major parties had observed a recent tradition by not opposing the Speaker seeking re-election. On its return to partisan politics the seat reverted to Labour, much where it been in 1992.
