The 1914 AAA Championships was the 1914 edition of the annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA). It was held from 3–4 July 1914 at the Stamford Bridge (stadium) in London, England. The attendance was described as a record attendance of around 13,000, despite estimates that were higher the year previous.^[1]^[2]

The Championships consisted of 20 events and covered two days of competition for the first time, following the introduction of four new events. The new disciplines introduced were the 440 yards hurdles, javelin throw, discus throw and triple jump. It was also the last Championships for five years due to the outbreak of war shortly after the 1914 championships.
