2014 Charlotte 49ers football team

Head coach
  
Brad Lambert (2nd year)

The 2014 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (also called Charlotte or UNC Charlotte) in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. This was the second season for 49ers football and they were classified as an FCS independent school, meaning they had no athletic conference affiliation for the 2014 season. The team was led by head coach Brad Lambert and played its home games on campus at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. As the team was in their two-year transition period before reclassifying to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), they were ineligible to participate in the FCS playoffs. They finished the season 5–6.
