The Gnome-Rhône 14M was a compact, air-cooled radial engine featuring 14 cylinders arranged in two rows, employed in multiple French and German aircraft during World War II. While maintaining the characteristic two-row, 14-cylinder layout common to Gnome-Rhône powerplants, the 14M was designed with a smaller size and lower displacement and output, intended for use in lighter aircraft compared to the larger Gnome-Rhône 14N and its predecessor, the Mistral Major models.
