The 2010-12 Florida Legislature was the legislature of the U.S. state of Florida following the 2010 general election, occurring primarily during the first two years of Governor Rick Scott's first term. (It began in the final weeks of Charlie Crist's term.) It was the 22nd legislature convened under the 1968 Constitution and the 85th since statehood in 1845.

In the November 2, 2010 elections, the Republican Party gained five seats in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate, increasing their majorities to 81-39 and 28-12, respectively.

The legislature met in five sessions: a one-day organization session on November 16, 2010; a special session ("A") held on the same day; the 2011 regular session from March 8 to May 7; the 2012 regular session from March 2 to April 30; and an extraordinary apportionment session ("B") from March 14 to 28, 2012.[1][2]
