Alberta Provincial Highway No. 14[1] is an east-west highway through central Alberta. It spans from the AlbertaSaskatchewan border to the City of Edmonton. It runs parallel to the more northern Highway 16.

It passes through Wainwright, Fabyan, Irma, Kinsella, Viking, Bruce, Holden, Poe, Ryley, Tofield, South Cooking Lake. Along the outskirts of Sherwood Park, Highway 14 forms a 9 km concurrency with Highway 216 (Edmonton's outer ring road), and then Highway 14 continues into Edmonton as Whitemud Drive and terminates at the Calgary Trail interchange, where it connects with Highway 2.

Along with Saskatchewan Highway 40 (with which it connects at the boundary), it forms part of the Poundmaker Trail, named after Chief Poundmaker of the Cree.
