An election to all 24 seats on Kilkenny County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, a reduction from 26 seats at the 2009 election. County Kilkenny was divided into 3 local electoral areas to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). In addition, Kilkenny Borough Council was abolished.

Fianna Fáil became the largest party securing 10 seats, a gain of 3. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a very poor set of results and lost 5 of their seats returning with 7 seats in all. Sinn Féin broke through in the county winning 3 seats, while Labour retained just 2 seats on the council. Malcolm Noonan of the Greens was re-elected in Kilkenny city and Independents secured the final seat.
