U.S. Highway 29 (US 29) in the state of Florida is the westernmost north–south United States Numbered Highway in the state. It runs 43.7 miles (70.3 km) from downtown Pensacola north to the Alabama state line entirely within Escambia County. US 29 runs as a four-lane highway through much of the Florida Panhandle, becoming six lanes through and near several towns. The highway's hidden state road designation is entirely State Road 95 (SR 95).

Street names include North Palafox Street, Pensacola Boulevard, and Century Boulevard. From Brent to Cantonment, US 29 runs between two different railroad lines. On the west side is a line formerly owned by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway (Frisco; now owned by the Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway), and, on the east side is a line previously owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N; now CSX Transportation).[2]
