Florida's 9th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Florida. Currently represented by Democrat Darren Soto, it stretches from eastern Orlando south-southeast to Yeehaw Junction. It also includes the cities of Kissimmee and St. Cloud.

From 2003 to 2012, it encompassed most of rural eastern Hillsborough County, northern parts of Pinellas County (including Clearwater) and the Gulf coast of Pasco County (including New Port Richey). The redistricting on January 3, 2013, completely reassigned the boundaries of the 9th district to mostly Osceola County with central Orange County plus northeastern Polk County, See whole Florida state map for 2013, with the 9th district covering Osceola County and Orange and Polk County: [http://www.flsenate.gov/PublishedContent/SESSION/HOME/REDISTRICT --ING2012/PUBLICCOMMENTS/h000c9047_35x42L.pdf h9047_35x42L.pdf] Congressional Plan: H000C9047. Chapter No. 2012-2, Laws of Florida. www.flsenate.gov. February 16, 2012. See the 2013 boundaries of the 9th district covering Osceola County and northeastern Polk County in the 2013 districts map: H000C9047_map_sw.pdf, for the southwest region of Florida, along the Gulf of Mexico, from Pasco County to Collier County, Florida. Congressional Plan: H000C9047. Chapter No. 2012-2, Laws of Florida. www.flsenate.gov. February 2012. while the former 9th district became parts of the 10th, 11th, 12th (Pasco County) or the 14th district which split Hillsborough County with the 15th and 17th district. The 2013 redistricting also expanded the State of Florida from 25 to 27 districts, adding 2 in Miami - Dade.
