The 1914 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1914 college football season. In their 14th season under head coach Fielding H. Yost, the Wolverines won their first five games by a combined score of 180 to 10, including three shutouts. They then lost three of the final four games to finish with a 6–3 record.[1]

Michigan halfback John Maulbetsch was a consensus first-team selection for the 1914 College Football All-America Team.[2] Two other Michigan players, center James Raynsford and quarterback Tommy Hughitt, were named to Outing magazine's Football Roll of Honor.[3] Raynsford was the team captain, and Hughitt was selected as the team's most valuable player.[1]
