The 1964 United States presidential election in Florida was held November 3, 1964. All contemporary fifty states and the District of Columbia took part, and Florida voters selected fourteen electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Florida was the second-closest state won by Johnson, after Idaho.

Although Johnson won the state amidst his national landslide, Florida weighed in as a massive 20.28% more Republican than the nation at large. Johnson carried 20 of the state's 67 counties, although in only two of them, Monroe and Dade, did he exceed his nationwide vote share of 61.05%.

As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which the Democratic candidate carried Charlotte County.
