Florida State Road 972, locally known as Coral Way, is a short east-west divided highway entirely within the city of Miami, Florida, USA. Its current western terminus is Douglas Road (Southwest 37th Avenue); its eastern terminus is U.S. Route 1 (SR 5) in the Brickell area of Miami. Although it has had the FDOT designation as a State Road only since 1980 (and as Florida State Road 956 until 1983), Coral Way has been an important route for Miami for much longer: it was a main street for the short-lived city of Silver Bluff, which merged with Miami in 1926.

Originally, SR 972 extended seven miles further west along Southwest 24th Street to Southwest 107th Avenue (SR 985), near Tamiami Park and Florida International University. A series of truncations started in the late 1990s, first moving the western terminus two miles eastward to SR 973 (Galloway Road/Southwest 87th Avenue), then another 4.5 miles to SR 953 (LeJeune Road) in Coral Gables -- the exit signs on the Palmetto Expressway were replaced with ones without the State Road designation in 2001 -- and, at the request of businesses along the Miracle Mile stretch of Coral Way, a final move of the western terminus one-half mile to its current location.

Westward from SR 972, it now travels along Southwest 24th Street (Miracle Mile in eastern Coral Gables) until after passing under Florida's Turnpike, rounding a gentle chicane, and following Southwest 26th Street until its current terminus just west of Southwest 162nd Avenue.
