On March 24, he was released by the Indians and signed a one-year Major League contract with the Atlanta Braves. After his first four starts with the Braves, Harang posted a 0.70 ERA, the lowest in the National League. Harang then became the first pitcher since Pedro Martínez in 1997 to start a season with five starts of at least six-plus innings and one or fewer runs allowed. He went 12–12 with a 3.57 ERA over 33 starts for the Braves in 2014 and finished ninth in the National League with 2041⁄3 innings pitched.
