The 2014 Coupe de France Final decided the winner of the 2013–14 Coupe de France, the 97th season of France's premier football cup. It was played on 3 May at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris.
In the final, Guingamp beat Rennes 2–0 in a Derby Breton to win their second Coupe de France title. By winning, they qualified for the Group Stage of the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League, and the 2014 Trophée des Champions against the 2013–14 Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The match was Rennes' sixth final, of which they had won two (1965 and 1971). Their most recent final was in 2009, which they lost 2-1 to Guingamp. That was Guingamp's second appearance in the final after their unsuccessful attempt in 1997 when they lost on penalties to Nice.
Rennes, of Ligue 1, began their campaign in the Round of 64 on 4 January at home to fellow top-flight team Valenciennes, winning 8-7 on penalties. In the next round, they won 2-0 at third-tier Boulogne, with goals from Anders Konradsen and Silvio Romero. In the Round of 16, away to Ligue 2 Auxerre, they won via a first-half Foued Kadir goal. Rennes then beat Lille 2-0 at home, with goals from Kamil Grosicki and Romain Alessandrini. In their semi-final on 15 April, Rennes beat second-tier Angers 3-2 at home, with Ola Toivonen, Grosicki and Jean Makoun scoring.
