The Florida Sentinel was a newspaper established in Quincy, Florida, United States and then relocated to Tallahassee, Florida where it was published from 1841 until 1865. Joshua Knowles founded the paper and Joseph Clisby became the paper's editor in Tallahassee. The newspaper office printed a journal of the Senate during its first session and reports on the Florida Supreme Court. The House also contracted with him to publish their proceedings.

In 1851, the office printed the minutes of the West Florida Baptist Association annual session held October 26 to October 29, 1850, at the Union Academy Church in Jackson County.
