An election to Offaly County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 19 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, a reduction of 2 seats from the previous election in 2009. In addition Birr Town Council, Edenderry Town Council and Tullamore Town Council were all abolished.
Fianna Fáil remained the largest party after the elections winning 8 Council seats. Sinn Féin won 3 seats and in terms of vote share also became the second largest party. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a poor set of results and lost half of their Council seats. Independents make up the remainder of the membership of the Council.
