The 2014 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division I was a pair of international under-20 ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. In each of the two groups, six teams played a round-robin tournament; the first-placed team was promoted to a higher level, while the last-placed team was relegated to a lower level. Divisions I A and I B represent the second and third tier of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.

Denmark won Division I A and were promoted to the Top Division for 2015, while Poland finished last and were relegated to Division I B. Italy won Division I B and were promoted to Division I A for 2015, while Japan finished last. However, Japan were not relegated, as Great Britain had used an ineligible player and thus saw their games later recorded as forfeits, and the team relegated.
