The 1914 South Australian Football League season was the 38th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.

The season opened on 2 May with a match between South Adelaide and Port Adelaide, and concluded on 19 September with the Grand Final, in which minor premiers Port Adelaide went on to win its eighth premiership, defeating North Adelaide by 79 points.

West Torrens and Sturt also made the top four teams and participated in the finals series. West Adelaide, South Adelaide and Norwood all missed the top four.

The 1914 South Australian Football League season is the only time in SAFA/SAFL/SANFL history a team has gone through the entire season winning every game. In addition to going undefeated during the SAFL season, Port Adelaide beat a composite team of all the other SAFL sides and the Carlton Football Club in the Champions of Australia match played at Adelaide Oval.
