Liechtenstein competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. Liechtenstein's Olympic Committee nominated 4 athletes for the Olympics. ^[3]

The 2014 Games marked the first time a Liechtenstein Olympic team competed in Russia, as Liechtenstein and 64 western countries took part at the American-led boycott in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.
