The 2014 SAFF Women's Championship was an association football tournament for women's national teams organised by the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF).

The tournament was hosted in Islamabad, Pakistan from 11 to 21 November 2014.[1]
In the final, India beat Nepal for the third time and to remain the only nation to lift the title.[2] Indian player Ngangom Bala Devi won the top-scorer award, scoring 16 goals in five matches.
On 10 September 2013, SAFF executive committee decided that 3rd SAFF Women's Championship will be held in Pakistan.[3]
