The 1914 United States Senate election in Maryland was held on November 2, 1914. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator John Walter Smith was re-elected to a second term in office over Republican Edward Carrington Jr.

This was the first regularly scheduled election held in Maryland following the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which required direct election of Senators.
