The 1974 NAIA Soccer Championship was the 16th annual tournament held by the NAIA to determine the national champion of men's college soccer among its members in the United States.

Defending champions Quincy (IL) defeated Davis & Elkins in the final, 6–0, to claim the Hawks' fifth NAIA national title. This was a rematch of the 1968, 1970, and 1971 championships.

The final was played in Florissant, Missouri.[1]
