The Sardinian regional election of 2014 in Italy took place on 16 February 2014.

Francesco Pigliaru of the Democratic Party defeated the incumbent, Ugo Cappellacci of Forza Italia. The combined score of the highly fragmented Sardist parties was 26%.[1]

The Five Star Movement did not take part to the election, after Beppe Grillo refused to concede the use of his party's symbol.

The novelist Michela Murgia, who received more than the 10% of votes, was not elected because of the new high electoral threshold.
