The 2014 Nevada lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Nevada, concurrently with elections to the United States House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 10, 2014. Two debates were held, one in September 2014 and the other in October.

Incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Brian Krolicki was ineligible to run for re-election to a third term in office due to lifetime term limits. Republican state senator Mark Hutchison defeated Democratic state assemblywoman Lucy Flores in a landslide. As of 2025, this, alongside all other concurrent statewide elections except for attorney general, is the last time any Republican candidate won Clark County in a statewide election.
