State Road 55 is mainly the secret designation of U.S. Route 19 through Florida^[1], although it has appeared on maps/atlasses in several occasions. North of Perry, it's the secret route for US 221,^[2] continuing north into Georgia as Georgia State Route 76; South of Memphis, it's a secret designation for US 41.^[3]

State Road 55 originates at the Georgia border north of Ashville, and ends at SR 684 in Bradenton.

Very little evidence of SR 55's existence can be found, except in Levy, Dixie, and Taylor Counties. In Dixie County, for example, there's a CR 55A in Old Town and Fanning Springs. In Chiefland, US 19's status as SR 55 is exposed in street-name signs, and one shield south of Alt US 27.
