NGC 2014 is a red emission nebula surrounding an open cluster of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of about 163,000 light-years.

The nebula was discovered on 3 August 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop.[http://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc20.htm#2020 Seligman] Together with NGC 2020 it makes up what is called the Cosmic Reef.{{Cite web|url=http://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/2020/16/4646-Image|title=Cosmic Reef|website=HubbleSite.org|language=en|access-date=2020-04-26}}
