The 1896 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 3, 1896. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1896 United States presidential election. Florida voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Florida was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Arthur Sewall of Maine. They defeated the Republican nominees, former Governor of Ohio William McKinley and his running mate Garret Hobart of New Jersey. Bryan won the state by a landslide margin of 46.16%.

Bryan would later win Florida against McKinley again four years later and would later win it again in 1908 against William Howard Taft.
