The 1884 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on November 4 for the 49th Congress. These elections were held at the same time as the presidential election and the election for governor.
The 1882 elections had sent one Democrat and one Republican to the House to represent Florida. That would prove to be the last Congressional election won by a Republican in Florida until 1954.
Both incumbents ran for re-election, one of whom was re-elected. One seat changed from Republican to Democratic control
