The 2014 Iowa State Auditor election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the Iowa Auditor of State, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 3, 2014.

Incumbent Republican state auditor David A. Vaudt resigned on May 3, 2013, to become chairman of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governor Terry Branstad appointed former Story County auditor Mary Mosiman on May 13, 2013, to fill the vacancy until the 2014 election cycle, becoming the first female state auditor in state history.

Mosiman ran for election to her first full term in office, defeating former Des Moines School Board member Jonathan Neiderbach in the general election.
