Canada's Sébastien Lareau and Daniel Nestor defeated the defending gold medalists, Australia's Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde, in the final, 5–7, 6–3, 6–4, 7–6(7–2) to win the gold medal in Men's Doubles tennis at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

The Woodies became the first pair to win multiple medals in the event, and the second and third individuals to do so (Reginald Doherty won two golds with different partners in 1900 and 1908).

In the bronze medal match, Spain's Àlex Corretja and Albert Costa defeated South Africa's David Adams and John-Laffnie de Jager, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3.

Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde were the defending champions, host nation heroes, number one seeds, and favorites.

1996 bronze medalist David Prinosil of Germany returned, now partnered with Tommy Haas.
