Florida's 4th congressional district is a congressional district in northeastern Florida, encompassing Nassau and Clay counties and part of Duval County. The district is currently represented by Aaron Bean of the Republican Party.

As part of the 2020 redistricting cycle, the district was redrawn to include Clay County and exclude St. Johns County. Rutherford was redistricted into the 5th district, and Republican state senator Aaron Bean was elected to be the district's representative in the 2022 election.

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.
