The 2020 Volusia County Chair election was held on November 3, 2020, following a primary election on August 18, 2020, to elect the Volusia County Chair. Incumbent County Chair Ed Kelley, who was first elected in 2016, initially announced that he would seek re-election, but ultimately declined to seek re-election to a second term.

Three candidates ran to succeed Kelley: County Councilwoman Deb Denys, farmer Jeff Brower, and retiree Gerard Witman. Brower placed first in the primary, winning 45 percent of the vote to Denys's 40 percent, and they advanced to the general election. Brower defeated Denys by a wide margin, winning his first term, 58–42 percent.
