State Road 9 (SR 9) is a state road in the U.S. state of Florida. While SR 9 is mainly used as a "hidden" state designation for Interstate 95 from the Georgia border (near Yulee, Florida) to the Golden Glades Interchange in Miami Gardens, a 13.7-mile-long signed SR 9 extends to the southwest as I-95 continues southward with the "hidden" SR 9A state designation.
The section of SR 9 northeast into the Golden Glades Interchange was planned before the Interstate Highway System as a bypass to US 1. It was built next to CSX's Miami Subdivision.
South of Opa-locka, State Road 9 becomes West 27 Avenue (Unity Boulevard). From there, it continues to the south on until the southern terminus at South Dixie Highway (US 1/SR 5) in Miami. The road continues without a state designation until it reaches South Bayshore Drive in Miami's Coconut Grove neighborhood.
North of its junction with SR 9, Northwest 27 Avenue (Unity Boulevard) continues as State Road 817.
