State Road 20 (SR 20) is an east-to-west route across northern Florida and the Florida Panhandle in the United States.
The western terminus of State Road 20 is at State Road 85 in Niceville. The route proceeds east along the northern coast of the Choctawhatchee Bay through Freeport, where it leaves the Gulf coast behind, as it heads through Blountstown and the Florida Panhandle. SR 20 crosses the Apalachicola River on the Trammell Bridge, then proceeds though the Apalachicola National Forest and Tallahassee. It then becomes a hidden route briefly along US 90 in Tallahassee, then along US 27 in Tallahassee where it joins the Apalachee Parkway, a major east-west thoroughfare in the city. Constructed in 1957, the Apalachee Parkway starts at Monroe Street in front of the Florida State Capitol building. It has a short expressway section just east of the capitol, then is a busy four-lane surface boulevard with service roads for the next few miles, passing the Governor's Square Mall and state office buildings.
