The 2014 Arkansas Attorney General election was held on November 4, 2014 to elect the Attorney General of Arkansas. It coincided with other statewide elections in Arkansas, including for governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House, as well as various other state and local elections.

Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Dustin McDaniel was ineligible to run for re-election due to term limits established by the Arkansas Constitution. Arkansas is one of four states that limits all constitutional officers to two lifetime terms. State representative Nate Steel was the Democratic nominee, running unopposed in the primary. By contrast, the Republican primary faced a three-way primary, with attorney Leslie Rutledge becoming the nominee after a runoff.
