The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 was the 12th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 15 November 2014 at the Malta Shipbuilding in Marsa, Malta, and presented by Moira Delia. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Public Broadcasting Services (PBS). This was the third time that the contest was hosted by the previous year's winning broadcaster. It was the first time in Junior Eurovision history that there was only one presenter of the show.

Broadcasters from a total of sixteen countries participated in the contest, with Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia making their debuts.

The winner was Italy with the song "Tu primo grande amore" by Vincenzo Cantiello. Bulgaria and Armenia finished in second and third place, respectively. This was Italy's first victory in a Eurovision event since the last edition of Jeux Sans Frontières in 1999, and also marked the first time since the inaugural 2003 contest that a country had won in its débutante year.
