List of United States senators from Florida

None

Florida was admitted to the Union on March 3, 1845, and elects its U.S. senators to class 1 and class 3. Florida's U.S. Senate seats were declared vacant in March 1861, due to its secession from the Union. They were filled again in July 1868. The state is currently represented by Rick Scott (serving since 2019) and Ashley Moody (serving since 2025). After Scott's 2018 election, Florida has been represented by two Republican senators for the first time since Reconstruction. Duncan U. Fletcher was Florida's longest-serving senator (1909–1936).

Mallory and Yulee, along with several other senators, announced they were withdrawing from the Senate on January 21, 1861, due to their states' decisions to secede from the Union. Mallory's seat was declared vacant by the Senate on March 14, 1861, but Yulee's was already vacant because his term ended at noon on March 4, 1861.
