The 2014 Tippeligaen is the 70th season of top-tier football in Norway. The competition began on 28 March 2014, two weeks later than in the previous season. A three-week summer-break in June was scheduled due to the 2014 World Cup, and the decisive match was played on 9 November 2014.

The league was contested by 16 teams: the best 13 teams of the 2013 season, and the 14th-placed Sarpsborg 08 who won the relegation-playoffs against Ranheim, in addition to Bodø/Glimt and Stabæk who won promotion from the 2013 Norwegian First Division.
