The 2014 Fijian general election was held on 17 September 2014 to elect all 50 members of the Parliament of Fiji. It was conducted by the Fiji Electoral Commission (FEC).

The incumbent centrist FijiFirst government, led by Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, won a second term in government, defeating the centre-right Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA), led by Opposition Leader Teimumu Kepa, in a landslide. It was the first election held since the 2006 Fijian coup d'état, which saw the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) take over the government and made Commodore Bainimarama the new Prime Minister.
