This list of Florida's highest points in the state of Florida includes natural and manmade points.

Most of the state's highest named points are in Holmes, Walton, and Washington counties, in the sub-Piedmont highlands of northern Florida. The highest points in peninsular Florida are found along the Lake Wales Ridge, running through the central portion of the peninsula, and the Brooksville Ridge, which parallels the northwestern coast of the peninsula.

Geographic points (permanent earthworks) of human origin are also included, designated as "N/A, Artificial".
