C814 is an unsealed rural route in northern Tasmania, linking, along with route C809, the Tamar River foreshore with the north east. Despite carrying the name 'Industry Road' it doesn't appear to serve any industry, other than a handful of agricultural properties and a small area of state forest.

C814 is signed only at its northern terminus and at the junction with C815 - there are no fingerboards at the intersection with C809, despite signage on both C814 and C809 stating the importance of the intersection as a turning point for traffic.
