The 2024 Florida House of Representatives elections was held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. Florida voters elected state representatives in all 120 of the state's house districts.
Following the 2022 state House of Representatives elections, Republicans expanded their House majority to 85, up from 78 in the last election, giving them a supermajority in the House.[1] The concurrently held Senate elections also resulted in a supermajority, giving Republicans supermajority control of the legislature.
Following the election, two Democratic representatives switched parties, giving the Republicans 87 seats to the Democrats' 33.
