The 2000 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary took place on the first of February, 2000. New Hampshire traditionally served as the second state in a presidential primary cycle, after Iowa.

Senator John McCain of Arizona, who had diverted resources from Iowa to focus on securing victory in New Hampshire, won a surprising victory, defeating the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Governor George W. Bush of Texas.[1][2] However, Bush would eventually secure the nomination, going on to be elected president in the general election.
