This article describes the quizbowl team at the University of Florida. For high school quizbowl in the state of Florida, see NAQT Florida State Championship.

The University of Florida has long had one of the stronger teams in the country, with first scorers such as Chris Borglum in the early 90s, Raj Dhuwalia a decade later, and Taylor Harvey in the present era. Currently the undisputed best team in the state of Florida, the current A team of Taylor Harvey, Tracy Mirkin, Jonathen Settle, and Leo Law finished in 5th place at the 2021 DI ICT and won 2021 ACF Nationals.
