The 1913 major league baseball season began on April 9, 1913. The regular season ended on October 5, with the New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the tenth World Series on October 7 and ended with Game 5 on October 11. The Athletics defeated the Giants, four games to one.

This was the third of four seasons that the Chalmers Award, a precursor to the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (introduced in 1931), was given to a player in each league.

The Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers shortened its name to the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Highlanders renamed as the New York Yankees.
