An election to Westmeath County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 20 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, a reduction of 3 seats compared to 2009. In addition Athlone Town Council and Mullingar Town Council were both abolished.

Fianna Fáil emerged as the largest party after the elections as both Government parties suffered at the polls. Labour lost 2 thirds of her Councillors being reduced to just 2 seats while Fine Gael also lost 3 seats. Sinn Féin won seats on the Council for the first time, 3 in total, and were joined by 2 Independents.
