The Florida–Florida State men's basketball rivalry is a college basketball rivalry between the two oldest public universities of the state of Florida: the University of Florida Gators and the Florida State University Seminoles. Although the in state rivalry between these two schools is most widely known in football, Florida and Florida State have had some memorable battles in basketball as well.

The two teams first met in 1951, a game in which the Gators won 61-51. The two teams met sporadically from then until 1978. Since then, the rivalry has been played at least once a year. For both teams, it is the only out of conference rival that they play every year.

Florida has dominated the rivalry overall, leading 43-24. However, FSU has had its fair share of glory in the series, especially recently. The most notable FSU win came in 2006 when they upset the 4th ranked (and eventual national champion) Gators in Tallahassee, which sparked a three game winning streak for the Seminoles in the series. Since 2005, the Gators lead by a slim 6-5 margin.
