The Short Course World Championships in 2000 in swimming took place from 16th bis 19th March 2000 in the Athens suburb of Maroussi place and were from the International Swimming Federation FINA organized.

The competitions were held in the Olympic Swimming Complex built in 1990. This included two 50 meter outdoor pools and one 50 meter indoor pool. This location was previously used at the 1991 European Swimming Championships and only a few months later at the 2004 Summer Olympics .

Around the year 2000, FINA changed the staging years of the swimming world championships on the long course and the short course world championships. The long track world championships were held in odd years from 2001 and the short track world championships in even years. For this reason, the short course world championships in Athens took place only eleven months after the last short course world championships in Hong Kong .

A total of 15 new world records were set. Two in the heats, four in the semi-finals and nine in the medal decisions.
