Presidential elections were held in Croatia in January 2000,[1] the third since independence in 1991. They were also the first early presidential elections, as they were held due to the death of incumbent president Franjo Tuđman on 10 December 1999, as well as being the last elections held under the semi-presidential system of government, by which the President was the most powerful official in the government structure and could appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister and their cabinet.

Voter turnout was 62.98% in the first round and 60.88% in the second round.[2]
