The 2012–13 Ottawa Senators season was the 21st season for the National Hockey League franchise. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout. Despite having a large number of injuries, the Senators qualified for the playoffs, defeated the Montreal Canadiens in a first-round series, before losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round of the playoffs.
At the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Senators selected local Orleans, Ontario, Ottawa 67's player Cody Ceci in the first round, fifteenth overall. The pick was the first first-round pick of a 67's player by the team.
The Senators' roster was not changed substantially during the summer. The Senators lost forward Zenon Konopka and defencemen Filip Kuba and Matt Carkner to other teams through free agency. The team traded forward Nick Foligno to the Columbus Blue Jackets for defenceman Marc Methot to add to the defence. The team picked up winger Guillaume Latendresse and defenceman Mike Lundin through free agency, both from the Minnesota Wild. Later in the summer, the team bought-out winger Bobby Butler and he signed with the New Jersey Devils.
The team made re-signing Norris Trophy winner and potential restricted free agent Erik Karlsson a priority, and he signed a seven-year extension with the team. The team reached agreement on contract extensions with Chris Neil, Kyle Turris and Zack Smith. The club also re-signed Peter Regin, Kaspars Daugavins and Stephane Da Costa to one-year contracts.
