Florida's 25th congressional district is a congressional district in the Broward County area of Florida. In the 2020 redistricting cycle, it was drawn as a successor to the previous 23rd district and includes much of southern Broward County, including Weston, Davie, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and parts of Miramar and Plantation. The previous iteration of the 25th district, which stretched from Collier County to the suburbs of Miami, was instead renamed the 26th district.

The prior 25th district, from 2003 through 2013, stretched across a great swath of the Everglades and included parts of Collier, Miami-Dade, and Hendry counties. It took in the Miami-Dade municipalities of Homestead, Leisure City, and Cutler Bay.

In the 2010 redistricting cycle, much of this area was redrawn into the 26th district, while the 25th district was reconfigured from what was the 21st district from 1993 to 2003. From 2017 to 2023, the district included all of Hendry County, most of Collier County excluding the coastal fringe, and the northwest of Miami-Dade County. Major cities in the district included Hialeah, Doral, LaBelle, and Clewiston. Previous iterations of the district had a large Cuban American population, making up 44.3% of the population, the largest proportion in any district in the United States.

The district is currently represented by Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who previously represented the 23rd district before redistricting.

For the 118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the 2020 census), the district contains all or portions of the following counties and communities:^[7]
