United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2010

The 2010 congressional elections in Florida were held on November 2, 2010 to determine who will represent the state of Florida in the United States House of Representatives. Representatives are elected for two-year terms; those elected will serve in the 112th Congress from January 2011 until January 2013. Florida has twenty-five seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States Census, and it likely to remain at that number until there is a possible addition of two more congressional seats in 2012.

A large majority of the incumbents sought re-election on November 2, and only the 12th district and the 17th district are open races. Upon the resignation of Robert Wexler, a special election was held in April to determine the new representative of 19th district. The winner of that race was Ted Deutch of the Democratic Party, who is seeking re-election on November 2.

The table below shows the total number and percentage of votes, as well as the number of seats gained and lost by each political party in the election for the United States House of Representatives in Florida. In addition, the voter turnout and the number of votes not valid will be listed below.
