Florenc (Czech pronunciation: [ˈflorɛnts]) is a Prague Metro station providing the interchange between Lines B and C, situated in Karlín, Prague 8. It serves Florenc Central Bus Station.

The station was formerly known as Sokolovská. The Line C station was opened on 5 September 1974 as the southern terminus of the inaugural section of Prague Metro, between Sokolovská and Kačerov. On 3 November 1984, the line was extended to Fučíkova (later renamed Nádraží Holešovice). On 2 November 1985, the inaugural section of Line B was opened, from Sokolovská to Smíchovské nádraží. On 22 November 1990, Line B was extended to Českomoravská.

Since June 2022, the station's vestibule has been under long term renovation.
