The 1914 Miami Redskins football team was an American football team that represented Miami University as a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) during the 1914 college football season.^[1]^[2] Led by coach James C. Donnelly in his third and final year, Miami compiled a 5–3 record.

Donnelly was acting professor of physical education at the school.^[3] Donnelly was replaced as head football coach for the 1915 season by Chester J. Roberts. At the time Miami was changing their philosophy of athletics by moving to an all-year athletic coach. Donnelly was unable to be in Oxford for the entire school year since he could only take a limited amount of time off from his law practice in Massachusetts.^[4]
