The Buffalo Bandits are a lacrosse team based in Buffalo, New York playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2013 season was their 22nd season in the NLL.
The Bandits started the season with a fairly strong 5–3 record, with wins over their division rivals the Toronto Rock and Philadelphia Wings and two wins over the defending champion Rochester Knighthawks. But for the second straight season, the Bandits lost six straight games to put their playoff hopes in jeopardy. They finished the season with a 6–10 record, and out of the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
After the season, long-time coach Darris Kilgour was fired by the Bandits. Despite the low season, the Bandits drafted Dhane Smith with the fifth overall pick in the NLL draft.
As of 2026, this is the Bandits' lowest win total in franchise history since the league expanded to at least 16 games.
