The 1914 Victorian Football League season was the 18th season of the elite Australian rules football competition.

In 1914, the VFL competition consisted of ten teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.

Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds.

Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1914 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system".

All of the 1914 finals were played at the MCG so the home team in the Semi Finals and Preliminary Final is purely the higher ranked team from the ladder but in the Grand Final the home team was the team that won the Preliminary Final.

Carlton defeated South Melbourne 6.9 (45) to 4.15 (39), in front of a crowd of 30427 people. (For an explanation of scoring see Australian rules football.)

:1.^ Geelong's score in the first semi-final is given in different sources as either 5.7 (37) or 5.8 (38).
