The 1914 Spanish general election was held on Sunday, 8 March (for the Congress of Deputies)^[a] and on Sunday, 22 March 1914 (for the Senate), to elect the 15th Cortes of the Kingdom of Spain in the Restoration period. All 408 seats in the Congress of Deputies were up for election, as well as 180 of 360 seats in the Senate.

While the election saw the Conservative bloc winning a majority of seats in both chambers, internal infighting between the factions led by Eduardo Dato, Antonio Maura and Juan de la Cierva resulted in an unstable government.
