The Big Cypress Indian Reservation is one of the six reservations of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It is located in southeastern Hendry County and northwestern Broward County, in southern Florida, United States. Its location is on the Atlantic coastal plain. This reservation lies south of Lake Okeechobee and just north of Alligator Alley.

Facilities on the reservation include the tribal museum and a major entertainment and rodeo complex.
The land area is 81.972 sq mi (212.306 km2), including the 12th-largest cattle operation in the country.[1] A resident population of 591 persons was reported in the 2010 census.

It lies adjacent to the north side of the largest section of the Miccosukee Indian Reservation in western Broward County.
