Silver Springs is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Marion County of northern Florida. It is the site of the Silver Springs, a group of artesian springs and an historic tourist attraction that is now part of Silver Springs State Park. The community is part of the Ocala metropolitan area. It was first listed as a CDP for the 2020 census, when it had a population of 2,844.

A small amusement park with various animals, a concert stage, a carousel, and exhibits also developed.
