Rankings from The Sports Network poll

The 2000 Hofstra Pride football team represented Hofstra University during the 2000 NCAA Division I-AA football season. It was the program's 60th season, and they competed as an Independent. The Pride earned a berth into the 16-team Division I-AA playoffs, but lost in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion Georgia Southern, 48–20. They finished #7 in the final national poll and were led by 11th-year head coach Joe Gardi.

The 2000 season was the first in which Hofstra went by the nickname "Pride." The previous spring, the school decided to change the nickname for their sports teams from Flying Dutchmen and Flying Dutchwomen to go into effect the 2000–01 school year.
