State Road 15A (SR 15A) is part of the Florida State Road System, and a suffixed alternate of State Road 15. Along with its parent route, SR 15A is signed north–south.
Current route
SR 15A forms a western bypass for SR 15 (US 17) around DeLand. It joins into North Woodland Boulevard, north of DeLand and South Woodland Boulevard, south of DeLand. It continues northeast from its northern end as CR 15A (North Spring Garden Avenue) to SR 11. At its southern end, crossing US 17, it becomes East Taylor Road, joining in with CR 4101.
SR 15A was a spur from US 17 Roosevelt Boulevard on US 17 Alt Roosevelt Expressway until ending on eastbound Interstate 10 (SR 8). With the realignment of US 17 onto the Roosevelt Expressway, that segment became part of SR 15.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Volusia County.

History
SR 15A used to include CR 15A, which continues the bypass to SR 11.
Former sections
Several former sections of SR 15A have existed throughout the state within the vicinity of SR 15. These include SR 139 (Kings Highway) heading northwest out of downtown Jacksonville as a hidden route for U.S. Route 23, SR 551 (Goldenrod Road) east of Orlando, and SR 729 (State Market Road) in Pahokee.
Other sections of SR 15A have existed:
- SR 15A, now CR 15A, connected SR 15/SR 700 (US 98/US 441) at Upthegrove Beach to SR 710. At the same time, SR 15B (now CR 15B) connected the same two highways near the Okeechobee-Martin County boundary line about three miles (5 km) to the southeast.[2]
- SR 15A, now CR 15A, connected SR 15 (US 17) south of Green Cove Springs to SR 16 west of Green Cove Springs.[3]
- Several short sections of SR 15A spurred from SR 15 (US 17) in and near Orange Park. Some or all may now be CR 15A.[3]
- SR 15A, now CR 15A, connected SR 15 (US 1-23) southeast of downtown Callahan to SR 200 (U.S. Route 301) southwest of downtown Callahan.[4]
Historic State Road 15C
In addition to the former SR 15B noted above, Okeechobee County also had a State Road 15C. Now CR 15C, it was, and still is, an eastward spur from SR 15 near Fort Drum.[2]
