The 2014 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season was the 57th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 82nd overall. The Blue Bombers finished with a 7–11 record, although this was a four-game improvement upon their disastrous 3–15 record from 2013, the Blue Bombers still finished last place in the West Division and failed to make the playoffs for the third straight year. It was also the fifth time in six seasons that the Blue Bombers would fail to qualify for the CFL playoffs.

The Blue Bombers played in the West Division after having played in the East Division for eight seasons.
