The third British Independent Film Awards were held on 25 October 2000 to recognise the best in British independent cinema and filmmaking talent from United Kingdom.

As per previous years, only films intended for theatrical release, and those which had a public screening to a paying audience either on general release in the UK or at a British film festival between 1 October 1999 and 30 September 2000 were eligible for consideration. In addition, they needed to have been produced or majority co-produced by a British company, or in receipt of at least 51% of their budget from a British source. Lastly, they could not be solely funded by a single studio.

Nominations were announced in early October 2000. The award ceremony, hosted by Richard Blackwood, was held later that same month and for the third year in succession at the Café Royal, in London's West End. Winners in eleven categories were selected from the shortlists and a further three were awarded entirely at the jury's discretion, whose make up included Andy Paterson, Ayub Khan Din, Declan Lowney, Duncan Heath, Fiona Mitchell, Michele Camarda, Richard Holmes, Rupert Preston and Samantha Morton.
