The 2014 Football League One play-off final was an association football match which was played on 25 May 2014 at Wembley Stadium, London, between Leyton Orient and Rotherham United to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from Football League One to the Football League Championship. The top two teams of the 2013–14 Football League One season gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to sixth place in the table partook in play-off semi-finals; the winners of these semi-finals competed for the final place for the 2014–15 season in the Championship.

Rotherham were aiming for back-to-back promotions while Leyton Orient had played in the third tier of English football since 2006. The game was refereed by David Coote in front of a Wembley crowd of more than 43,000 spectators. Leyton Orient took the lead in first half with a strike from Moses Odubajo and doubled their advantage five minutes later through Dean Cox. Alex Revell then pulled one back for Rotherham ten minutes into the second half before scoring his second with a strike from distance. The game ended 2–2 and went into extra time. No further goals were scored so the match was decided using a penalty shootout. Rotherham's Lee Frecklington saw his shot saved before his goalkeeper Adam Collin denied both Mathieu Baudry and Chris Dagnall to ensure a 4–3 victory.

Rotherham United ended the following season in 21st position in the Football League Championship, one place above the relegation zone. Leyton Orient finished their next season 23rd in League One, and were relegated to Football League Two for the 2015–16 season. Their manager Russell Slade resigned from the club in September 2014 with them in 17th position, to take over at Cardiff City.
