Floyd Lavinius Parks (* 9. Februar 1896 in Louisville; † 10. März 1959 in Washington, D.C.) war während des Zweiten Weltkriegs General der US-Armee. Während des Krieges war er Stabschef der US Army Ground Forces und der First Allied Airborne Army. Als solcher nahm er an der Operation Market Garden teil, die Luftlandungen in den Niederlanden hinter den deutschen Linien leitete, die die alliierten Streitkräfte daran hinderten, den Rhein zu überqueren. Bei seiner Beförderung 1945 zum Generalmajor befehligte er die US First Airborne Army. Nach dem Krieg befehligte Parks den US-Sektor in Berlin, bevor er nach Washington D.C. ging, um Leiter der Public Information Division der Armee zu werden. Später, 1949, befehligte er amerikanische Streitkräfte in der US Army, Pacific. Nach seinem Dienst auf Hawaii wurde er Leiter der Informationsabteilung, woraufhin er als "Vater der modernen Public Relations der U.S. Armee" bekannt wurde. Er wurde 1953 zum Generalleutnant befördert und diente danach bis zu seiner Pensionierung 1956 als Befehlshaber der Zweiten Armee der Vereinigten Staaten.
