The ninth series of British reality television series The Apprentice was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 7 May to 17 July 2013. This series saw the format return to having a business task as the final task, rather than simply concluding the series at the Interview stage. Alongside the standard twelve episodes, with the first two aired on consecutive days, two specials were aired alongside this series – "The Final Five" on 8 July, and "Why I Fired Them" on 11 July.
Sixteen candidates took part in the ninth series, with Leah Totton becoming the overall winner. Excluding specials, the series averaged around 7.34 million viewers during its broadcast.
