The 2014 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 19th in the National Football League (NFL) and their seventh under head coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens improved upon their 8–8 record from 2013, when they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007. Additionally, the Ravens scored a franchise record 409 points and quarterback Joe Flacco passed for a career-high 27 touchdowns and 3,986 yards.

The Ravens clinched the sixth seed in the AFC playoffs following their Week 17 win against the Browns. This was their first time making the playoffs in the post-Ray Lewis era, having failed the make the playoffs the previous season. After winning the AFC wild card game against their divisional rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens were ultimately defeated in the AFC Divisional Round by the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, failing to upset them on the road in a repeat of the Ravens' 2012 Super Bowl winning-season. After this, the Ravens would not qualify to make the postseason again until 2018.

The season was not without controversy, however, as TMZ released a video of star running back Ray Rice punching his wife Janay Palmer then dragging her in an elevator. On September 8, 2014 after seeing the video, the Ravens released Rice.
