Elections to the United States House of Representatives in Florida for two seats in the 56th Congress were held November 8, 1898

Background

The previous election year had seen a total of five parties contesting Florida's two seats, including the Republican Party, which had been absent in 1892 and 1894. Both seats were won by the Democratic incumbents by a large majority. The previous three elections had seen Populist candidates as well, but, mirroring the national decline of that party, there were no Populist candidates in 1896.
