The 2020 District of Columbia Democratic presidential primary took place on June 2, 2020, as one of eight delayed and regular contests on that day in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The District of Columbia primary was a closed primary, with the district awarding 45 delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of whom 20 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Former vice president and presumptive nominee Joe Biden won the primary with 76% of the vote, earning 19 delegates,[1] and crossed the necessary majority of 1,991 delegates to officially win the Democratic nomination three days later during the vote count.[2] Senator Elizabeth Warren saw her only second-place finish in the 2020 primaries with almost 13% and won 1 delegate,[3] while senator Bernie Sanders came in third with 10%, although Warren had long before withdrawn from the race in March and in difference to Sanders had not sought to win any more delegates. As almost all news articles only published the preliminary results and did not update on the final certified results (which were higher for Warren), they did not show a delegate for Warren.
