The women's 10000 metres at the 2014 European Athletics Championships took place at the Letzigrund on 12 August.

The event was run as a straight final. In a slow run, tactical race, 40-year-old British athlete Jo Pavey won the gold medal, timing her push with 400 metres to go, becoming the oldest European athletics champion in the history of the event. French contender Clémence Calvin, who had finally animated the race with three laps remaining, and compatriot Laila Traby completed the podium.^[1][2]
