The 1914 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1914, and was a race for Governor of Oklahoma. Democrat Robert L. Williams narrowly defeated Republican John Fields and Socialist Fred W. Holt. Also on the ballot were Independents Amos L. Wilson and T. J. Wood as well as Progressive Party nominee John P. Hickam. The Prohibition Party also had ballot access but did not run a candidate in the general election.

This was the closest gubernatorial election in Oklahoma until 1970 and Williams' 39.65% share of the vote is the lowest for any winning candidate in the state's history.
