Miami Shores is a village with a population of 10,500 in Miami-Dade County in Florida. Miami Shores was originally a neighborhood of the City of Miami when it was annexed into the city of Miami in 1925. With the arrival of the Great Depression, the City of Miami gave up its jurisdiction and Miami Shores was incorporated as its own village in 1932.

Miami Shores is located on Biscayne Bay and is adjacent to the north of Miami. Surrounding municipalities are El Portal, Biscayne Park, North Miami, Miami Beach and North Bay Village.
