The XIV Army Corps / XIV AK (German: XIV. Armee-Korps) was a corps level command of the German Army before and during World War I. It was, effectively, also the army of the Grand Duchy of Baden, which, in 1871, had been integrated into the Prussian Army command structure, as had the armies of most German states. Both divisions and the bulk of the corps' support units were from the grand duchy. The corps was established in 1870, after the Siege of Strasbourg.^[1]

It was assigned to the V Army Inspectorate,^[2] which became the 7th Army at the start of the First World War. It was still in existence at the end of the war^[3] as part of the 18th Army, Heeresgruppe Deutscher Kronprinz on the Western Front.^[4]
