The 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Grande Prêmio Petrobras do Brasil 2013) was a Formula One motor race that was held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil on 24 November 2013. The race marked the 42nd running of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The race was the nineteenth and final round of the 2013 Formula One World Championship.

The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Sebastian Vettel, his ninth straight Grand Prix victory, driving a Red Bull.^[2] His teammate Webber finished in second place in his final race, and Fernando Alonso finished third for Scuderia Ferrari. Vettel established the then-gargantuan records of 397 points total and 155 points margin to second-placed Alonso (these records were surpassed by Lewis Hamilton in 2018 and Max Verstappen in 2023 respectively). Red Bull-Renault won the Constructors' Championship with a then-record difference of 236 points to second-placed Mercedes (which was surpassed by Mercedes the following season).

This was also Vettel's last win until the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix, Vettel's last win at Red Bull, Red Bull's last win until the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, and last 1–2 finish until the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix.

As of 2024^[update], this is the last time that Brazil hosted the final race of a season and the most recent Grand Prix in which naturally aspirated engines were used.
