An election to all 34 seats on Wexford County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an inrease from 21 seats at the 2009 election. The town councils of Enniscorthy, Gorey and New Ross and the borough council of Wexford were all abolished.

Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin were the big winners in this election. Fianna Fáil also supplanted Fine Gael as the largest party but the additional seats helped to reduce the impact on the party as they only lost 1 seat. Labour lost half of their seats as Independents trebled their membership on the Council and People Before Profit won a seat.
