Kepler-186b (also known as KOI-571.03) is an exoplanet located around 582 light-years away from Earth. Kepler-186b orbits a red dwarf known as Kepler-186, named after the space telescope that found it.

Kepler-421b is an exoplanet that, as of July 2014, has the longest known year of any transiting planet (704 days), although not as long as the planets that have been directly imaged, or many of the planets found by the radial-velocity method, or as long as some transiting planet candidates which are listed as planets in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (KIC 5010054 b etc.). It is the first transiting-planet found near the snow-line.

Kepler-298d is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the orange dwarf star Kepler-298, located 1545 light years (473.69 parsecs) away from Earth. It was discovered in 2014 via the transit method. The planet was originally considered to be potentially habitable, but further research places its atmosphere at +2.11 on the HZA scale, meaning it may be an ocean planet with a thick gas atmosphere like a gas dwarf.

Kepler-186e (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-571.04) is a confirmed exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-186, approximately 582 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus. It is near the optimistic habitable zone but probably not in it, possibly making it have a runaway greenhouse effect, like Venus. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. Four additional planets orbiting the star (all modestly larger than Earth) were also discovered.

Kepler-419c (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-1474.02) is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the star Kepler-419, the outermost of two such planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. It is located about 3,400 light-years (1040 parsecs )from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The exoplanet was found by using the transit timing variation method, in which the variations of transit data from an exoplanet are studied to reveal a more distant companion.

WASP-104b is a hot Jupiter exoplanet that orbits the star WASP-104. It is considered to be one of the darkest exoplanets discovered. WASP-104b was discovered in 2014; according to a 2018 study at Keele University, the planet's dense atmosphere of potassium and sodium absorbs more than 97% of light it receives.

Kepler-419b (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-1474.01) is a hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-419, the outermost of two such planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. It is located about 3,400 light-years (1040 parsecs from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

WASP-103b is a gaseous exoplanet, more specifically a hot Jupiter, located in the Hercules constellation orbiting the star WASP-103. It has an oval shape, similar to that of a rugby ball, thanks to the force of gravity exerted by its star. It is the first exoplanet to have a deformation detected.

Kepler-296d is an exoplanet orbiting the M-dwarf star Kepler-296, located in the constellation Draco. It was discovered in 2014 by the Kepler space telescope using the transit method.

Kepler-395c is a potentially habitable exoplanet 616 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus.

Kepler-296c is a confirmed exoplanet located in the binary star system Kepler-296. It was discovered in 2014 by the Kepler space telescope using the transit method. During a study by members of the NASA Ames Research Center on two other planets in the Kepler-296 system, Kepler-296f and Kepler-296e, they confirmed that Kepler-296c was an exoplanet with "more than 99% confidence".

Kepler-26e is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-26, located in the constellation Lyra. It was discovered by the Kepler telescope in February 2014. It orbits its parent star at only 0.220 astronomical units and completes an orbit once every 46.8 days. It is located within the star's habitable zone. The Habitable Worlds Catalog issued by the Planetary Habitability Laboratory classes the planet as a warm superterran near the inner edge of the optimistic habitable zone, with an equilibrium temperature of . The planet is likely tidally locked due to its proximity to the star.

Kepler-93b (KOI-69b) is a hot, dense transiting Super-Earth exoplanet located approximately away in the constellation of Lyra, orbiting the G-type star Kepler-93. Its discovery was announced in February 2014 by American astronomer Geoffrey Marcy and his team. In July 2014, its radius was determined with a mere 1.3% margin of error, the most precise measurement ever made for an exoplanet's radius at the time.
