1814 Virginia gubernatorial election

A gubernatorial election was held in Virginia on November 12, 1814. The former U.S. representative from Virginia's 21st congressional district Wilson Cary Nicholas defeated the brigadier general of the Virginia militia Armistead Thomson Mason and the United States Army colonel Thomas Mann Randolph Jr.

The incumbent governor of Virginia James Barbour was ineligible for re-election due to term limits established by the Constitution of Virginia. The election was conducted by the Virginia General Assembly in joint session. No candidate had a majority after the first ballot, requiring a second round of voting. Nicholas was elected with a majority on the second ballot.
