Florida's 23rd congressional district is an electoral district for the U.S. Congress, located in the Greater Miami area and covering parts of Broward County and southern Palm Beach County. In the 2020 redistricting cycle, it was drawn as a successor to the previous 22nd district and includes Boca Raton, Coral Springs, most of Deerfield Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and parts of Pompano Beach. The previous iteration of the 23rd district, which included Davie and Pembroke Pines, was instead renamed the 25th district. The district, along with two other districts in Greater Miami, has one of the highest concentrations of Jewish Americans, consisting of about 16% of the electorate.[6]

Florida's 23rd congressional district was created after the 1990 U.S. census. Democrat Alcee Hastings was elected in the first election for the district in 1992 until being redistricted to the 20th congressional district in 2013. From 2003 to 2013, the former 23rd district consisted of a major part of Broward County and parts of Palm Beach county. The district included Pompano Beach, Boynton Beach, and Belle Glade.

From 2013 to 2023, the district included cities such as Weston, Davie, Pembroke Pines, and Aventura,[7][8] as well as Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport and Nova Southeastern University.

The district is currently represented by Democrat Jared Moskowitz.
