Georgia's 14th congressional district is a United States congressional district in Georgia. The district is represented by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.

With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+22, it is tied with the 9th district for the most Republican congressional district in Georgia.[3]
The district is mostly rural and exurban in character. Like most of north Georgia, it has turned almost solidly Republican. While conservative Democrats held most local offices and state legislative seats in what is now the 14th well into the 1990s, today there are almost no elected Democrats above the county level. The Democrats have only nominated a candidate in four of the six elections since the district was created, with their best result being 34.1% in the 2022 election.
