The 20th Newfoundland general election was held on 8 November 1900 to elect members of the 19th General Assembly of Newfoundland in the Dominion of Newfoundland. The Liberal Party led by Robert Bond formed the government. The unpopular railway policy of the Conservatives contributed to their defeat at the polls. The Tory government of James Spearman Winter was defeated largely due to its railway policy and his conservative party fell into disarray.
