The 2014 Copa Libertadores de América Finals was a two-legged final that decided the winner of the 2014 Copa Libertadores de América, the 55th edition of the Copa Libertadores de América, South America's premier international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The first leg was hosted by Nacional at Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Asunción on 6 August, while the second leg was hosted by San Lorenzo at Estadio Pedro Bidegain in Buenos Aires on 13 August 2014.[1] The winner earned the right to represent CONMEBOL at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the semifinal stage, and the right to play against the 2014 Copa Sudamericana winners in the 2015 Recopa Sudamericana.[2]

The first leg ended in a 1–1 draw.[3] The second led ended with a 1–0 win for San Lorenzo, and they won the tournament for the first time in their history.[4][5][6]
