The 1900 United States presidential election in California took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose nine representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

California voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won the state by a margin of 13.16% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.

Bryan had previous lost California to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
