This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2016, held in Aarhus, Denmark, in August 2016 as part of ALGO 2016. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. Topics of interest for WAOA 2016 were: coloring and partitioning, competitive analysis, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, randomization techniques, real world applications, and scheduling problems.
