2013 Florida Gators baseball team
The 2013 Florida Gators baseball team represented the University of Florida in the sport of baseball during the 2013 college baseball season.  The Gators competed in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  They played their home games at Alfred A. McKethan Stadium, on the university's Gainesville, Florida campus.  The team was coached by Kevin O'Sullivan, who was in his sixth season at Florida. The Gators entered the season looking to build upon their appearance in the 2012 College World Series, where they were eliminated after two consecutive losses to South Carolina and Kent State.

The Gators suffered from inexperience for much of the season and experienced key injuries to their pitching staff. As a result, the team struggled to a record of 11–16 by mid-season. From that point forward however, the Gators climbed their way back into postseason contention by winning 14 out of 18 games including a series win over No. 11 Ole Miss, a series sweep over No. 8 South Carolina, and a road win over No. 7 Florida State. Despite struggling once again toward the end of the season, the Gators earned a berth in the 2013 NCAA tournament as a No. 3 seed in the Bloomington, Indiana regional where they were eliminated after consecutive losses to Austin Peay and Valparaiso. The team finished with their first losing record since 2007.
