The 2014 Tallahassee mayoral election took place on August 26, 2014 in the city of Tallahassee, Florida.

Incumbent Mayor John Marks refused to run a fourth term which resulted in a new seat being open for the candidates. A nonpartisan primary was held between three candidates with Andrew Gillum winning the race by 76 percent.^[1]

A run-off election was supposed to be held on November 4 between Gillum and the write-in candidate Evin Matthews. However, Mathews withdrew from the race on August 27, 2014, resulting in Gillum becoming the mayor-elect.^[2]
