The 2014 Buffalo Bulls football team represented the University at Buffalo as a member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by Jeff Quinn in his fifth and final year as head coach for the first seven games of the season and then by Alex Wood as interim head coach for the remainder of the season, the Bulls compiled an overall record of 5–6 with a mark of 3–4 in conference play, placing third in the MAC's East Division. The team played home games at the University at Buffalo Stadium in Amherst, New York.

Quinn was fired on October 13. ^[1] Buffalo played on 11 games because a game with Kent State on November 19 was canceled due to inclement weather and never rescheduled, which cost the Bulls a chance at bowl eligibility.
