The 1914 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Carlton Football Club and South Melbourne Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 26 September 1914. It was the 17th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1914 VFL season. The match, attended by 30,495 spectators, was won by Carlton by a margin of 6 points, marking that club's fourth premiership victory.
In a dramatic last minute, the ball was kicked into South Melbourne's forward 50 with a goal ensuring that the premiership decider would be drawn. Ern Jamieson of Carlton leaped into the back of South Melbourne player Tom Bollard at full-forward but a free kick was not given, allowing the ball to be cleared to safety and give Carlton victory.
