The 2014 La Course by Le Tour de France was the inaugural edition of La Course by Le Tour de France, a women's cycling race held in France. The race was run before the 21st stage of the 2014 Tour de France on 27 July. The race was introduced following criticism by the professional women's peloton and campaigners such as Kathryn Bertine regarding the lack of a women's Tour de France.
The race was won by Marianne Vos of Rabo Liv in a sprint finish, with Kirsten Wild of Team Giant–Shimano finishing second and Leah Kirchmann of Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies in third.
