Perky is a ghost town in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It is located in the lower Florida Keys on Lower Sugarloaf Key near mile marker 17 on US 1 (the Overseas Highway).

A post office called Perky was established in 1929, and remained in operation until 1942.[1] The town was named for its founder, R. C. Perky.[2]

It is the site of the historic Sugarloaf Key Bat Tower built by Richter Clyde Perky in 1929. The tower was destroyed in 2017 by Hurricane Irma,[3] and the original fishcamp is now a restaurant and lodge.
