Macromia floridensis, commonly known as the Florida cruiser, is a species of dragonfly in the family Macromiidae. It is found in North America.[2][3][1][4][5][6]

The species was formerly placed in the genus Didymops, which molecular analysis found to be nested within Macromia and is now treated as its synonym.[7][8]

The species is classified as least concern on the IUCN Red List, where it was assessed under the name Didymops floridensis.[1]
