The 2013 Gainesville, Florida mayoral election took place on April 16, 2013, following a primary election on March 19, 2023. Incumbent Mayor Craig Lowe ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged by five opponents, including former City Commissioners Ed Braddy and Scherwin Henry. In the primary election, Braddy narrowly placed first over Lowe, winning 38 percent of the vote to Lowe's 37 percent, so both candidates advanced to the general election.

Shortly after the primary, Lowe was arrested for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident. Lowe apologized for his actions and pledged to continue his campaign, but he was defeated by Braddy by a wide margin, 55–45 percent.
