Alabama State House of Representatives, District 14 is a legislative district that includes most of Winston County and parts of western Cullman and Walker Counties, including the communities of Arley, Double Springs, Lynn, Natural Bridge, Oakman, and West Point.

Prior to the adoption of single-member districts in 1974, Alabama's legislative districts followed county lines.

Prior to 1966, Alabama's state legislators were elected by county, with each county having at least one representative, and some represented by more than one to account for larger populations. The term "district" was not used.

The first election by district was the 1966 general election. For that ballot, less populous counties were grouped into one district and highly-populated counties elected several members "at large" to a number of places corresponding to their population. District 14 included Bibb, Perry and Dallas Counties.

For the 1970 election District 14 represented Jefferson County, with 16 places on the ballot.

In 1974 Alabama switched over to single-member districts. At that time, District 14 included parts of Jefferson and Blount Counties.

From 2014 to 2022 District 14 included less of Winston County and more of Walker County, excluding Double Springs and Natural Bridge, but including Cordova, Nauvoo, Oakman and Parrish. In 2018 the district had 42,876 residents living in 16,874 households. It was 95% white and 1.6% Black or African-American.
