The 2014 Appalachian State Mountaineers football team represented Appalachian State University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season.

In their second year of their two-year FCS-to-FBS transition, the Mountaineers were eligible for the conference championship; however, they were not bowl-eligible.

After starting the season 1–5, the Mountaineers ended their first FBS season with a 6-game winning streak, finishing 7–5 overall and 6–2 in Sun Belt play with upset wins over last year's Sun Belt co-champions Arkansas State and Louisiana–Lafayette, good for third place in the Sun Belt.
