The 2014 Scottish Women's Premier League was the thirteenth season of the Scottish Women's Premier League, the highest division of women's football in Scotland since its inception in 2002. The competition started on 16 March 2014.

A total of twelve teams contested the league. Glasgow City were the reigning champions.^[1] Queen's Park and Inverness City were promoted from the SWFL First Division after finishing 1st and 3rd respectively in 2013 (First Division runners-up Celtic Reserves were unable to be promoted as league rules stipulate each club may field only one team in the Premier League).^[2]

The SWPL continued in the format applied since 2012. The 12 clubs faced each other once (11 games per club), after which the league split into top six and bottom six sections based on league position. Each club then played home and away against clubs in their respective sections to give a total of 21 games.

Glasgow City confirmed their eighth consecutive championship title on 1 October 2014.^[3] City suffered their first on-field league defeat since the 2008–09 season^[4]^[5] when they lost 1–0 to Spartans in September 2014^[6] (a fixture against Forfar Farmington during the 2012 season was retrospectively awarded to the opposition due to Glasgow City fielding an ineligible player). Glasgow City also won the 2014 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup and the 2014 Scottish Women's Cup to complete the 'treble', the fourth in their history and third in a row. Rangers were runners-up, 17 points behind the champions. Queen's Park and Buchan were relegated.
