Route 14 is a state highway traveling through the southern part of the U.S. state of Missouri. Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 60 (US 60) in Marionville, and its eastern terminus is at US 63 on the northern edge of West Plains. Route 14 is a two-lane highway for its entire length.
Formerly this road's western terminus was at US 71 in Joplin, and its eastern terminus was at US 67 southwest of Poplar Bluff. These sections are now US 160, Route 174, and Interstate 44 (I-44). The section between Mount Vernon and the southeast corner of Douglas County was Route 40 from 1922 to 1926.
Route 14 begins at the northern boundary of West Plains at an intersection with US 63. It will be 52 miles (84 km) before Route 14 enters another town. The highway passes through the hilly country of the Ozarks, and shortly after it starts, it enters the Mark Twain National Forest and forms a short 4.8 miles (7.7 km) concurrency with Route 181 from the twin bridges west. Twenty-eight miles (45 km) west of US 63, Route 14 intersects Route 95. Twenty-three miles (37 km) west of the intersection with Route 95 is Ava and an intersection with Route 76 and Route 5. West of Ava, the highway winds its way west to Sparta, where it joins with Route 125 for two miles (3 km).
