The 2013 Miami mayoral election took place on November 5, 2013. Incumbent Mayor Tomás Regalado ran for re-election to a second term. Though he was originally challenged by City Commissioner Francis Suarez, the son of former Mayor Xavier Suarez, Suarez dropped out of the race on August 26, 2013, blaming staffers for "mistakes we made" during the campaign.

With Suarez out of the race, Regalado did not face a well-known opponent, and diverted most of his campaign funds toward supporting ballot measures that he supported. Regalado ultimately won re-election in a landslide, receiving 78 percent of the vote.
