The 15 cm schwere Feldhaubitze M 14 was a heavy howitzer which served with Austria-Hungary during World War I.

It had two crew seats mounted on the gun shield. It broke down into two loads for transport. The M 14 was modified to improve elevation and range as well as to strengthen the carriage as the M 14/16. Postwar war modifications were common to make it suitable for motor traction and to address other issues.

M 14 howitzers captured by Italy during the war and received as reparations after the war were put into service with the designation of Obice da 149/12 modello 14. Some 490 were on hand in 1939 and weapons captured by the Germans after the Italians switched sides in 1943 were used as the 15 cm sFH 400(i). M 14/16s in Italian hands were known as the Obice da 149/13. Surviving weapons were impressed into German service after 1943 as the 15 cm sFH 301(i). Czech and Slovak weapons were known as the 15 cm hrubá houfnice vz. 14 and 14/16.
