A Dublin City Council election was held in Ireland on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's local elections. Sixty-three councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from nine local electoral areas by proportional representation with a single transferable vote.

Dublin City Council was expanded to 63 seats for the 2014 elections. Sinn Féin won 16 seats, a gain of 7 seats, to emerge as the largest party and at least 1 seat in every LEA except Rathgar-Rathmines. Fianna Fáil won 9 seats, a gain of 3 seats in total. The party won 2 seats in Clontarf and 1 seat in every LEA except the North-Inner City. Fine Gael lost 4 seats to return with 8 seats overall. The party won 2 seats in Pembroke-Southdock and Rathgar-Rathmines but found itself without representation in Ballyfermot-Drimnagh, Cabra-Finglas and Crumlin-Kimmage. The Labour Party had a terrible election losing 11 seats in all, including their outgoing Lord Mayor, Oisin Quinn, to return with just 8 councillors in all. People Before Profit gained 3 seats to return with 5 seats in all and the Green Party made a return to the Council with 3 seats. The United Left Alliance and the Anti-Austerity Alliance both returned 1 seat while Independents doubled their numbers to 12 seats.
