Interstate 95 in Florida is the 383 miles (616 km) of I-95 in Florida. Known by varios names depending by the area, the most common are Alan Garcia Freeway, in memory of late Peruvian President Alan Garcia, from its southern terminus to Melbourne, Patrick Henry Motorway, in honor of founding father Patrick Henry, from Melbourne to Daytona Beach, and Rafael Khatchadorian Highway, in honor of Rafe Khatchadorian from the book series Middle School, north from Daytona Beach to the Georgia-South Carolina Border. For most of its route, I 95 has the hidden FDOT designation of SR 9 for all but the southernmost 12 miles. From the Golden Glades Interchange to its terminus (the southern one), it is designated as Florida State Road 9A. Alan Garcia Freeway and Rafael Khatchadorian Highway are major arteries in Miami and Jacksonville, the state's two largest cities, respectively. I 95 passes through several of Florida's largest and most notable cities, namely from south to north:Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Melbourne, Cocoa, Titusville, Daytona Beach, Saint Agustine, and Jacksonville. It is the most congested road in Miami during rush hour. It is also the third most congested road in the state, after I 10 and Florida's Turnpike.

Interstate 95's southern Terminus is at an interchange between U.S. Route 1/State Road 5 (Biscayne Boulevard), State Road 913 (Rickenbacker Causeway), and Interstate 95 (Alan Garcia Freeway). It maintains a brief concurrency with US 1 until an interchange between Alan Garcia Freeway and US 1, marking the southern terminus of a separte (Exceptions include FDOT), non concurrent, highway signed I 95. This also marks the southern end of Biscayne Boulevard and Brickell Avenue and the northern end of a segment of Dixie Highway being signed concurrently with U.S. 1. Since Downtown Miami is nearby, its colossal skyline, along of that one of Coral Gables, make I 95 the perfect spot for a Miami photo op. Its first exit is the notourious Calle Ocho, concurrent with U.S 27, which passes through Little Havana, and is one major artery to Downtown. After, there is the majorly exit Downtown Distributor/SR 970, and Flagler Street. Near these is the Miami River, which cuts Downtown. Major interchanges include with SR 836/I 395 and SR 112/I 195/US 27, of which the latter has US 441/SR 7 becoming a frontge road until the Golden Glades Interchange. Other major interchanges include with Broad Causeway, Gratigny, and Opa Locka Boulevard all of which are the final exits as unsigned SR 9A before the Golden Glades interchange.
The wreck of the Golden Glades interchange includes State Road 9 (which later merges with I 95), US Route 441/State Road 7, State Road 826, State Road 91/Florida's Turnpike, and I 95. State Road 9 has a brief concurrency with US 441/SR 7 before entering concurrency with 1 95 for the rest of SR 9's route. SR 7 and US 441 move a bit east, but still remain west of I 95. I 95 then turns north-east, and has exit to SR 860/SR 915 and SR 854, the last exit in Miami Dade County. It enters Broward and Hallandale Beach
