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. However, a special election had been held in 1913 for Maryland's other Senate seat under the Amendment's requirement.
