An election to the United States House of Representatives was held in Florida for the 39th Congress on November 29, 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War.

Florida was represented in the Confederate Congress by two Senators and two Representatives. The Civil War ended in April 1865 and Florida held its first post-War election November 29.

Along with the other former Confederate States, Florida was not permitted to be represented in Congress until after Reconstruction. Florida was readmitted in 1868, and held its first post-Reconstruction election on May 5, 1868, representation resuming on July 1, 1868, after nearly years' absence from Congress.
