Archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics was held at Sydney International Archery Park in Sydney, Australia with ranking rounds on 16 September and regular competition held from 17 to 20 September.

One hundred twenty-eight archers from forty-six nations competed in the four gold medal events—individual and team events for men and for women—that were contested at these games.

The 1999 World Target Competition's top 8 teams (besides the host nation) each received three spots, and the 19 highest ranked archers after the team qualifiers were removed also received spots.

15 of the remaining 18 spots were divided equally among the five Olympic continents for allocation in continental tournaments.

The three final rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal matches) each used four ends of three arrows.
