{{Elections in Florida}}

The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on November 3, 2020, to elect the 27 U.S. representatives from Florida, one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the U.S. Senate, and various state and local elections.

In what was considered an upset, the Republican Party retook the two seats that it lost to the Democrats in 2018, expanding its 14–13 majority to 16–11.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/03/us-house-races-results-democrats-predicted-win-more-seats|title=US House races: Democrats retain control while facing upsets in key states|work=The Guardian|last1=Bekiempis|first1=Victoria|last2=Singh|first2=Maanvi|date=November 4, 2020|access-date=November 28, 2020}}{{cite news|url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election/article246867257.html|title=Maria Elvira Salazar defeats Donna Shalala in Florida's 27th Congressional District|publisher=Miami Herald|last=Daugherty|first=Alex|date=November 3, 2020|access-date=November 28, 2020}}

{{see also|Florida's 27th congressional district}}

The 27th district is located in South Florida, and includes part of Miami-Dade County. The district includes the cities of Coral Gables, Kendall, and Miami Beach, as well as the neighborhood of Little Havana in Miami. Democrat Donna Shalala, who had represented the district since 2019, flipped the district and was elected with 52% of the vote in 2018.

This district was included on the list of Democratic-held seats the National Republican Congressional Committee targeted in 2020.

Despite being the heavy favorite, Shalala was unseated by Salazar.{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2020/11/03/salazar-upsets-shalala-in-rematch-1333638|title=Salazar upsets Shalala in rematch|last=Fineout|first=Gary|website=Politico|date=3 November 2020|accessdate=7 February 2025}}
