The 2013 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was coached by Brian Kelly and played its home games at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. They competed as an independent.

All wins in the 2012 and 2013 seasons were later vacated for use of ineligible players as a result of a student tutor "impermissably" helping two players on homework assignments and aiding six other students with similar work, which constituted "extra academic benefits."
