An election to Laois County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 19 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, a reduction of 2 seats from the previous election in 2009. In addition Mountmellick Town Council and Portlaoise Town Council were both abolished.

Fianna Fáil became the largest party after the elections securing 7 Council seats. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a very poor set of results and lost half of their Council seats returning with just 6 seats in all. Sinn Féin doubled their representation to 2 seats and Labour retained a seat on the Council in the Portlaoise LEA. Independents make up the remainder of the Council membership.
