Battleground (2014) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on July 20, 2014 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, in Tampa, Florida. It was the second event under the Battleground chronology. It was also the last WWE pay-per-view event to use the WWE scratch logo.

Nine matches took place at the event, with two being shown on the pre-show. The main event saw John Cena defeat Randy Orton, Kane, and Roman Reigns in a Fatal four-way match to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The event received 99,000 buys (excluding WWE Network views), slightly down on the previous year's 114,000 buys.

The professional wrestling matches at Battleground featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Storylines between the characters played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.

At Money in the Bank, John Cena won a ladder match (other participants were: Kane, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Bray Wyatt and Cesaro) for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship to become a 15-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The next night on Raw, Triple H scheduled Cena to defend the title at Battleground in a Fatal 4-Way match against Roman Reigns, Kane and Randy Orton.
