The 2014 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida in the sport of American football during the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Gators competed in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They played their home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on the university's campus in Gainesville, Florida. The 2014 season was the Gators' fourth and final season under head coach Will Muschamp.

On November 16, following an overtime loss at home against South Carolina, which eliminated the Gators from the SEC East race, multiple reports surfaced that Muschamp would not be the head coach in 2015. He was allowed to coach the final two games of regular season play and the Gators became bowl eligible after a win over Eastern Kentucky. The season ended with a loss to Florida State. The Gators would go on to win the Birmingham Bowl against East Carolina and finish the season 7–5. After four seasons, Muschamp compiled a 28–21 overall, 17–15 conference record

During the 2013 season, the Gators suffered a 4–8 overall losing record, and finished 3–5 in the SEC. The Gators failed to qualify for a bowl game for the first time since being ineligible because of NCAA probation in 1990, finished with a losing record for the first time since the 0–10–1 season in 1979, and lost to Georgia Southern, marking the Gators' first loss to a current Division I-AA or FCS team since 1946.
