The 1900 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Melbourne Football Club and Fitzroy Football Club, held at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 22 September 1900. It was the 3rd annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1900 VFL season. The match, attended by 20,181 spectators, was won by Melbourne by a margin of 4 points.
Although Melbourne only won eight of their 17 home and away fixtures, their fifth placing was enough to qualify them for the finals series. Coming up against minor premiers and winners of the previous two premierships in Fitzroy, Melbourne were underdogs but won a thriller to claim their first flag.
