The Caproni Ca.314 was an Italian twin-engine attack/torpedo bomber aircraft, used in World War II.
Derived from the similar Ca.310, the Ca.314 was used mainly for ground attack and torpedo bomber missions. It was the most extensively-built Ca.310 derivative, and included variants dedicated to light bomber, convoy escort/maritime patrol, torpedo bomber, and ground-attack.

Caproni Ca.314 was developed in parallel with the Ghibli, the Ca.310 Libeccio. It was structurally similar to the earlier machine powered by two 350kW Piaggio P.VII C.35 radial engines. The prototype of Ca.310bis served as the development aircraft for Ca.311. It was similar to Ca.310bis, but most were later modified by the introduction of windshields, then redesigned Ca.311Mis.
