{{Elections in Florida}}
The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, to elect the 27 U.S. representatives from the state of Florida, one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including President of the United States.
A lawsuit challenging the districts under Florida's Congressional District Boundaries Amendment (Fair Districts Amendment) was filed in 2012 and was resolved in 2015. The results of the lawsuit had major repercussions on the congressional races in Florida in 2016. The primaries were held on August 30.

In 2014, Circuit Court Judge Terry Lewis threw out the congressional map for violating Florida's 2010 Amendment 6 to the state Constitution, commonly called the Fair Districts Amendment.{{cite news|last=Cotterell |first=Bill |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-florida-redistricting-idUSKBN0FG01D20140711 |title=Florida judge throws out 2012 congressional redistricting plan |work=Reuters |date=2014-07-10 |access-date=2016-09-10}} The ruling specifically applied to {{ushr|FL|5|FL-5}} and {{ushr|FL|10|FL-10}}.

Redistricting significantly altered the 2nd, mainly by shifting most of Tallahassee's African American residents to the 5th District. On paper, this made the 2nd heavily Republican. Democrat Gwen Graham represented the district for one term after being elected in 2014, when she beat Republican incumbent Steve Southerland. She did not run for re-election.{{cite news|url=https://apnews.com/4590d274213e4913b5ed007a5077f507/florida-congresswoman-leaving-office-over-district-changes|title=Florida's Graham to leave House, considers run for governor|agency=Associated Press|date=April 21, 2016|access-date=July 8, 2016|author=Farrington, Brendan}}

Democrat Corrine Brown had represented the district and its various permutations since 1993. The court-ordered redistricting significantly altered her district. She had previously represented a district stretching from Jacksonville to Orlando. The new map pushed the 5th well to the north and west, and made it a more compact district stretching from Tallahassee to Jacksonville.

In July 2016, Brown and her chief of staff were indicted on charges of fraud.{{cite news|last=Bohn |first=Kevin |url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/08/politics/rep-corrine-brown-indicted-for-alleged-role-regarding-fraudulent-education-charity/index.html |title=Rep.
