Athletics at the 2000 Summer Paralympics

Athletics at the 2000 Summer Paralympics comprised a total of 234 events, 165 for men and 69 for women. Athletes were classified according to the extent and type of their disability.

* Classes 11-13: visually impaired athletes
* Class 20: intellectually disabled athletes
* Classes 32-38: athletes with cerebral palsy; classes 32 to 34 competed while in wheelchairs
* Classes 42-46: amputees and those with other disabilities (''les autres'')
* Classes 51-58: athletes with spinal cord disabilities; these classes competed while in wheelchairs

Class numbers were preceded by a "T" for track events, an "F" for field events, and a "P" for the pentathlon. Lower class numbers corresponded to more severe disability. An exception to this classification scheme arose for athletes with severe cerebral palsy competing in field events; there were no F32 events, so athletes from this category instead competed in class F51 against athletes with spinal cord disabilities.
