Gaofen 14 (GF 4) is an earth observation satellite in the Gaofen series of Chinese civilian remote sensing satellites.

Gaofen 14 is an optical stereo mapping satellite. It can efficiently obtain high precision stereo images globally, draw large scale digital topographic map, produce digital elevation models, digital surface models and digital orthophoto images, and provide basic geographic information. It has been reported, that Belarus is involved in this project.

It was launched on a CZ-3B/G5 launch vehicle with an enlarged payload fairing into a 482 km × 495 km, 97.36° sun-synchronous orbit.
