The '''2014 Honda Indy Toronto''' was a Canadian open wheel motor race, held as the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds of the [[2014 IndyCar Series season]]. It was the 28th annual edition of the [[Honda Indy Toronto|Toronto Indy]], and the 29th and 30th [[American Championship car racing|IndyCar]] races to be held at the {{convert|1.755|mi|km|adj=on}} [[street circuit]] at [[Exhibition Place]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario|Ontario, Canada]].

==
Having successfully hosted a double-header race for the first time in [[2013 Honda Indy Toronto|2013]], [[IndyCar]] again scheduled two full points races for the Toronto weekend, with race one on Saturday and race two on Sunday.
After rain on Saturday washed out race one of the weekend double bill, IndyCar officials decided to reschedule the two races on Sunday, with race one in the morning and race two in the afternoon. The postponement created the first same-day doubleheader since the [[1981 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1981]] [[Atlanta 500 Classic|Kraco Twin 125s]] which were swept by [[Rick Mears]] at the [[Atlanta Motor Speedway]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Keating |first=Steve|date=July 20, 2014 |title=Rain creates double trouble for IndyCar|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-motor-racing-indy-double-idUSKBN0FP0UO20140720|publisher=[[Reuters]]|accessdate=April 24, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=McNulty |first=Dean|date=July 20, 2014 |title=Sebastien Bourdais, Mike Conway win Honda Indy Toronto races|url=http://www.torontosun.com/2014/07/20/sebastien-bourdais-wins-honda-indy-toronto-race-1|publisher=[[Toronto Sun]]|accessdate=April 24, 2015}}</ref>
