The 2014 Lamar Cardinals football team represented Lamar University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Cardinals were led by fifth year head coach Ray Woodard and played their home games at Provost Umphrey Stadium. They are a member of the Southland Conference. The Cardinals finished the season 8–4, 5–3 in Southland play to finish in a three way tie for third place.

The 4th Annual Red-White Crawfish Bowl was held Saturday, March 1. The game was modified from previous years. While the team was divided into Red and White teams as in previous years, the game pitted offense against defense. The White team consisted of offensive players while the Red team was made up of defensive players. Scoring was adjusted to include normal scoring for the offense with the addition of additional points for scoring plays longer than 20 yards. The defense scored on turnovers, three-and-outs, and stops. The White team (offensive players) won 50–18 with the modified scoring.

Four Lamar Cardinals were selected to the pre-season all Southland Conference team. Reggie Begelton, WR (JR) was selected to the First-Team Offense. Kevin Johnson, PR (SR) was selected to the First-Team Defense. Caleb Berry, QB (SR) and Justin Brock, OL (JR) were named to the Second-Team Offense.
