Florida's 4th congressional district is a congressional district in northeastern Florida, encompassing Nassau and Clay counties and Duval County west of the St. Johns River, including Downtown Jacksonville. The district is currently represented by Aaron Bean of the Republican Party.

Before 1993, most of the territory now in the 4th district was the 3rd district, represented by Charles Edward Bennett, a Democrat. He had held the seat and its predecessors since 1949 and was facing a stiff reelection contest against Republican Tillie Fowler in the 1992 election. Bennett retired after his wife fell ill, and Fowler easily defeated an underfunded replacement candidate. She became the first Republican woman to represent the district.

From 1967 to 1993, the 4th district stretched from the southern Jacksonville suburbs to the northern Orlando suburbs. Much of this area became the 7th district after redistricting, and is now the 6th district.
