Florida station is an RTD light rail station in Aurora, Colorado, United States. The station opened on February 24, 2017, and is currently served by the R Line.
Florida is typically served by the H Line, which is currently suspended due to the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project. It is the typical outbound terminus of the H Line, and the designated transfer point for southbound R Line passengers to continue toward the Denver Tech Center, Centennial, and Lone Tree, or transfer to H Line trains toward downtown Denver. H Line passengers must transfer to R Line trains at this station to continue north toward Denver International Airport. While the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project is ongoing, passengers wishing to follow the H Line's typical inbound service pattern must use the R and E Lines to do so, with a transfer at Belleview.

The station's pedestrian bridge crosses Interstate 225 and connects it with HCA HealthONE Aurora and its medical offices, as well as residential areas on the west side of I-225. During planning and construction, RTD designated the station's name as "Medical Center of Aurora", referencing the name of the hospital at the time.
