The Australian Performing Right Association Awards of 2014 (generally known as APRA Awards) are a series of related awards which include the APRA Music Awards, Art Music Awards, and Screen Music Awards. The APRA Music Awards of 2014 was the 32nd annual ceremony by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS) to award outstanding achievements in contemporary songwriting, composing and publishing. The ceremony was held on 23 June 2014 at the Brisbane City Hall, for the first time. The host for the ceremony was Brian Nankervis, adjudicator on SBS-TV's RocKwiz.

The Art Music Awards were distributed on 26 August at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne. These were provided by APRA, AMCOS and Australian Music Centre (AMC) to recognise "artistic achievement and excellence within the field of Australia's art music industry." The Screen Music Awards were issued on 12 November by APRA, AMCOS and Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC), which "acknowledges excellence and innovation in the genre of screen composition".

On 28 May nominations for the APRA Music Awards were announced on multiple news sources, with Birds of Tokyo and Vance Joy being the most nominated artists with four each. A total of 13 awards were presented, with Lindy Morrison honoured by the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music. Morrison is the National Welfare Coordinator of Support Act Limited – a music industry charity; previously she was on the board of Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) for 20 years and, even earlier, a drummer for the Go-Betweens (1980–89). Sia (aka Sia Furler) was presented with Songwriter of the Year for the second consecutive year – the first artist to ever do so. The APRA Music Awards ceremony highlights were broadcast on the MAX network on 9 July 2014.

Presenters

At the APRA Music Awards ceremony on 23 June 2014, aside from the host, Brian Nankervis, the presenters were Amanda Brown and Robert Forster (both ex-the Go-Betweens, alongside Morrison) as well as Kate Miller-Heidke.
