The 2014 Stanford Cardinal football team represented Stanford University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cardinal were led by fourth-year head coach David Shaw. They played their home games at Stanford Stadium and were members of the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference. They finished the season 8–5, 5–4 in Pac-12 play to finish in second place in the North Division. They were invited to the Foster Farms Bowl where they defeated Maryland.
The Cardinal won the conference title for the second year in a row after defeating Arizona State in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game, and represented the Pac-12 in the Rose Bowl, losing to Michigan State 24–20. The game represented Stanford's first consecutive Rose Bowl appearances since 1971–1972 and its fourth consecutive appearance in a BCS bowl game, the only team to do so from 2011 to 2014.
