Ponte Vedra is an unincorporated area in northern St. Johns County, Florida, United States, 18 miles (29 km) southeast of downtown Jacksonville, {{convert|26|mi|km}} north of St. Augustine and west of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Historically, there was no distinction between Ponte Vedra and Ponte Vedra Beach. However, after the Nocatee development became reality and Ponte Vedra High School opened, the United States Postal Service designated the area south and southwest of the 32082 area as Ponte Vedra and assigned it zip code 32081 in anticipation of future growth.

Ponte Vedra is located west of the Intracoastal Waterway; south and east of the Duval county line.{{cite web |last1=Lane |first1=Marcia |title=Anticipating Nocatee, Postal Service adds ZIP code |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716134201/http://staugustine.com/stories/040606/community_3751647.shtml |website=Staugustine.com |publisher=St. Augustine Record |access-date=6 April 2006}} It presently includes parts of Palm Valley, much of Nocotee,[http://www.nocatee.com/ "Welcome to Nocatee"] Nocatee Development website Allen D.
