The 2014 Arizona Attorney General election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the attorney general of Arizona. Incumbent Republican Attorney General Tom Horne ran for re-election to a second term in office. Horne, who was under investigation for multiple violations of election laws, was considered vulnerable in both the primary and general elections. Various Arizona Republicans called for him to resign or endorsed his opponent. Horne lost the Republican primary to Mark Brnovich. Brnovich won the election by a 5.84% margin, defeating Democratic opponent Felecia Rotellini.
