U.S. Route 29 (US 29) in the State of Florida is the westernmost south-to-north U.S. route in the state. It runs 43 miles (69 km) from Downtown Pensacola north to the Alabama State Line entirely within Escambia County. Highway 29 runs as a four-lane highway through much of panhandle, becoming six-lanes through and near several towns. The highway's hidden state road designation is entirely State Road 95 (SR 95).

Street names include North Palafox Street, Pensacola Boulevard, and Century Boulevard. From Brent to Cantonment, US 29 runs between two different railroad lines. On the west side is a line formerly owned by the Saint Louis and San Francisco Railway (now owned by Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway), and on the east side is a line previously owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (now CSX).

US 29 begins at U.S. Route 90 and U.S. Route 98 in downtown Pensacola along North Palafox Street, which starts off as a four-lane undivided concrete boulevard, with occasional provisions for center-left turn lanes. The road enters Goulding at Escambia County Road 480, and straddles the Pensacola-Goulding border until just south of the intersection with Florida State Road 752, which ends west of the next intersection, which is Florida State Road 295. The road passes by the western edge of the Escambia Wood Treating Company Superfund Site and enters Brent. The division of the highway begins at Massachusetts Avenue which is part of the eastern terminus of State Road 292, and remains that way throughout much of the county. After the intersection with State Road 296, the name of US 29 changes to Pensacola Boulevard, and North Palafox Street moves onto its former routing along Escambia County Road 95A, which it will maintain until it reaches Ten Mile Road (see below). North of CT 95A, US 29 serves as the western terminus of State Road 750, which leads to the Pensacola Regional Airport, and later becomes the northern terminus of Escambia CR 453, a four-lane boulevard that serves as a shortcut to western Pensacola. After the western terminus of State Road 742, US 29 encounters the interchange with Interstate 10 in Florida, which includes loop ramps flyovers and an unusually wide median, all of which is on the border between Brent and Ensley. A far more conventional diamond interchange with U.S. Route 90 Alternate can be found up ahead, but not before encountering three signalized intersections... four if you count the emergency signal for a county firehouse. Commercial surroundings begin to thin out north of US ALT 90, but don't disappear entirely. After the intersection with Ten Mile Road, the route enters Gonzalez. Approximately one mile north of there, County Road 95A (now simply named "Highway 95A") runs parallel to the northbound lane connected only by turn lanes, mainly from the northbound lane itself. This trajectory ends across from CR 297, and after this, CR 95A moves away from US 29. CR 95A briefly returns to the side of the northbound lane near a local diner, only for US 29 to curve away from it to the northwest between Tate School Road and Escambia CR 749.
